North Korea Bans South Korea entry to factories in the demilitarized zone

Today North Korea banned entry to South Korea to an industrial complex in the demilitarized zone where 50,000 workers work.  The South Koreans workers were given the choice to stay and work in North Korea or go back to South Korea.  Just over 800 South Koreans were already at the factory once the North decided to block the entry to the South.  The other employees were banned from the factory.  Many South Korean workers have decided to stay at the site to work after the decision was made, hopefully short term.  Experts say the banning of this entry to the South Koreans is a threat and they are hoping to start war with the South in the near future.
