Summary

The South Korean military completed a probe with United Nations Command into explosions that injured three soldiers last month, confirming that North Korean troops had planted at least four landmines south of the Military Demarcation Line. Two mines exploded on September 21, injuring three South Korean soldiers. The South Korean military removed the two unexploded mines on October 5. North Korea has denied responsibility and accused Seoul of making groundless allegations.
