South Korean Military and UN Command Investigate DMZ Landmine Explosion
South Korea's military and the United Nations Command have launched a joint investigation into a landmine explosion near the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) on September 21, which injured three South Korean soldiers. The investigative team of about 40 officials is searching the area to determine the cause, with the military pledging to disclose findings publicly. Opposition lawmakers have called for transparency amid suspicions the device may have originated from North Korea, which resumed fortification activities near the border earlier this year.
