North Korea Blamed for DMZ Landmine Explosion Injuring South Korean Soldiers

An explosion in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the border between North and South Korea has been attributed to North Korean landmines by the South Korean military. The incident, which occurred on September 21, injured three South Korean soldiers, with one losing a foot. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in South Korea announced that the explosion was caused by a North Korean landmine, not a South Korean one. The UN Command, which oversees the armistice between the two Koreas, also confirmed the violation of the Armistice Agreement. South Korea has demanded an apology from North Korea, but North Korea has denied responsibility and warned of retaliation.
