Yes this is true. In the article provided Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) it shares that North Korea had blown up sections of the inter-Korean roads and rail lines to fortify a the border between North and South Korea. I was able to find another article from the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) that not only gives a written understanding of what had happened on October 15th but also shares a video as another piece of factual evidence. Both articles do a fantastic job at keeping all information non biased and provide some kind of factual evidence wether it is a video, photo, or some kind of interview quote.

This is correct. This particular article from CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) references a Reuters article (Reuters) which was originally pulled from an Associated Press article. (AP). The Associated Press referenced the South Korean Government for their article, specifically the Ministry of Defence and Reunification.

Yes this is true. The CBC is one of Canada's most viewed and trusted websites and I have found many other reputable news sources from CNN, NBC, Reuters, and the Associated Press. The AP corroborates the CBC article and references South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff and the ministry of unification as did the CBC article.

Although reputable sources are referenced in confirming the claim, there could definitely be more details added into why the claim is correct. Although South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff is mentioned, what do they say that confirms the claim is true. By incorporating these details and direct links, it will provide more support to the answer.
