Seoul: North Korea said on Monday it would close its land border with the South from December 1.

North Korea will also suspend all tours to its border city of Kaesong, near the industrial park run by a South Korean company, and stop rail traffic across the border.

News agency KCNA said North Korea would selectively expel South Koreans from the industrial park.

The site is home to nearly 90 South Korean companies that operate there to make use of cheap North Korean labour.
