North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered a shootout to stop the spread of the corona virus.
US military commanders in South Korea have claimed that they have issued shootings to prevent the spread of the corona virus in the country.
North Korea is one of the countries where not a single case of corona virus has been reported so far.
Following the outbreak of the corona virus in China, North Korea closed its border and tightened the country's health emergency.
The commander of the US military has claimed that after closing the border, North Korea has created a buffer zone near the border, which has led to an increase in smuggling.
He said North Korean Special Forces commandos had been deployed in the area and that shooting orders had been issued to prevent the deadly epidemic from entering the country.
A few months ago, North Korean authorities shot and killed a couple with a firing squad, accusing them of fleeing the country during the Corona virus quarantine.
The British media claimed that the couple was arrested by North Korean forces on the border while trying to flee the country during the quarantine imposed in the country and was subjected to the worst torture without any trial.
North Korean authorities executed the couple without trial and shot them in front of a firing squad.
Foreign media say the 50-year-old woman was leaving her young nephew with her parents, who live in South Korea.
The couple was arrested by North Korean forces while crossing the border between the two countries, sources said, adding that the authorities did not sentence the victim's nephew to death due to his young age, but the couple was killed at the same time.
