Launch Slideshow Tanks for the Memories
Hwacheon, South Korea—An art installation featuring Korean War–era tanks bears a slogan saying “Peace All Around the World.” The installation is near the so-called Peace Dam, which is close to the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea. Constructed intermittently between 1987 and 2005, the dam was designed to protect against flooding if North Korea decided to open its Imnam Dam upstream to damage the South. Tensions between the two Koreas were heightened again on May 22 when the North confirmed it had successfully test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile.
