South Korea DMZ explosion injures soldiers
Three South Korean soldiers were injured in an explosion that is believed to have been caused by a landmine inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between the Koreas. This area is known to be one of the most heavily mined regions in the world, and it has separated the two halves of the peninsula since the end of the war in 1953. The military official stated that one of the soldiers sustained serious injuries, and the injured have been taken to the hospital. Investigations are still ongoing to determine whether the landmine was planted by the North Korean or South Korean army. Reports indicate that there are approximately 800,000 landmines in the area, and that mine deployment has continued in recent years—particularly after North Korea designated South Korea as a primary enemy and installed anti-tank barriers along the border.
