Explosion heard and smoke seen rising from border city of Kaesong

An explosion was heard and smoke seen rising from the North Korean border city of Kaesong on Tuesday, the South’s Yonhap news agency reported.

Citing unspecified sources, Yonhap said the smoke was near the joint industrial complex where the North-South liaison office is located.
