No-fly zone, military-drill ban near Korea border take effect
Deal includes halt to 'all hostile acts' and gradual removal of landmines and guard posts in the Demilitarised Zone.
aljazeera Nov. 1

A no-fly zone and a ban on military drills near the heavily fortified border between North and South Korea came into effect on Thursday as the once uneasy neighbours push to further defuse tensions.

The measures were part of a military accord signed during last month's inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang, which includes a halt in "all hostile acts" and a gradual removal of landmines and guard posts within the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ).

The United States has raised concerns that the deal could undercut defence readiness amid tardy progress on North Korea's denuclearisation, though it displayed support at an annual security consultative meeting of defence ministers on Wednesday in Washington.

The Vigilant Ace December air power exercise could have been affected by the new military flight restrictions but it was cancelled.

ROK Army firepower exercises on the East Sea (Sea of Japan) coast near the coastal buffer area south of the NLL on the East Sea were also cancelled due to the military agreement taking affect:
