North Korea deploys 960,000 landmines
South Korean news agency Yonhap revealed that North Korea has planted approximately 960,000 landmines along the border with South Korea since 2024, aiming to bolster military fortifications in the demilitarized zone between the two countries. Members of the South Korean parliament reported that the South Korean military had briefed them on these activities, which include increased mine-laying operations and strengthened defenses along the border—such as barbed wire and anti-tank facilities. Military experts estimate that there are over two million landmines in the DMZ area between the Koreas, planted by both North and South Korea. This situation reflects escalating tensions and ongoing heightened military measures in the absence of a final resolution to the Korean War, which has been ongoing since 1953.
