🚨 SEOUL BLAMES NORTH KOREAN MINES FOR DMZ BLAST
South Korea’s defence minister said the blast last week injured two South Korean personnel in the demilitarised zone.
Kang Shin-chul said the mines were North Korean and appeared to have been planted as part of border fortification work near the military demarcation.
He said the incident violated the Korean War armistice agreement and warranted a response against Pyongyang.
