Kim Jong-Un has network of 20 underground tunnels to invade South Korea

There appears to be a network of 20 underground tunnels in North Korea and Kim Jong-Un could be preparing for an invasion of South Korea through this network of secret tunnels. Officials of South Korea are aware of four tunnels under the border between the two countries and doubt that there could be 16 more.
The presence of these tunnels raises fears that Pyongyang is plotting to invade the south and it comes barely two months after the secretive nation carried out nuclear bomb tests.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 5 December 2016.

There are fears that some of the tunnels were designed to transport up to 30,000 troops an hour. However, border guards feel the size and design of the passages would mean that such a large figure would be 'impossible' to achieve.
In 2014 South Korean authorities searched for tunnels under the demilitarised zone between the two countries - the last one to be discovered was in 1990. The first was found a mile into South Korean territory in November 1974. At the time there were estimates that up to 2,000 troops an hour would have been able to emerged from the underground passage. Subsequent searchers revealed a second possible invasion route in March 1975 and a much deeper third tunnel in October 1978 following a tip-off from a defector.
One of the tunnels is now a tourist site, but is still closely guarded.
