5:23Now PlayingNorth Korea is closing its borders to western tourists, just weeks after it began letting them back in.
Last month, Western tourists were able to visit for the first time since North Korea sealed its borders when Covid hit in 2020. Tour operators say travel to North Korea is cancelled until further notice. It's unclear what led to the abrupt change.
