North Korean diplomats talking to South Korean officials in the demilitarized border zone between the two countries reportedly offered to remove the North's long-range artillery guns (http://english.chosun.com/m/svc/article.html?contid=2018061801132), which have been a dagger pointed at Seoul's throat for decades.
Before North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon, before it even built its first facility to create fissile material, its artillery had established a strong deterrent against South Korea and the US.
North Korea is estimated to have thousands of massive artillery guns hidden in hardened shelters among the hills and mountains (http://www.businessinsider.com/how-us-would-strike-north-korea-2017-3) of the country's rugged terrain. Artillery batteries located within range of the South Korean capital of Seoul could kill tens of thousands of people every hour if war were to break out.
Accounts in South Korean media differ over who exactly proposed the latest measure, but it came at a general-level military dialogue, which hadn't happened for over a decade before.
