North and South Korea Increase Military Readiness Amid Border Tensions
Tensions between North and South Korea have escalated following a September explosion in the Demilitarised Zone, which Seoul attributes to North Korean landmines—a claim Pyongyang denies. North Korea has deployed new military units to firing positions along the border, with Kim Yo Jong warning of potential military escalation and resumption of propaganda broadcasts. South Korea has responded by affirming its right to security measures and pledging decisive retaliation against further provocations. Both sides have increased military readiness amid ongoing border disputes.
