South Korea: North Korean Mine Likely Injured Three Soldiers in DMZ

South Korea's military announced that it is "highly likely" a North Korean mine caused the blast that injured three soldiers in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two countries. This was reported by The Jerusalem Post and South Korea's Yonhap News Agency. The incident occurred while a military unit was conducting a reconnaissance patrol in the western sector of the border.

According to reports by Yonhap, South Korean military officials assessed that the explosive was an anti-personnel mine similar to the wooden-box mines used by the North, and ruled out the possibility that it was their own munition. The military warned that it will take corresponding countermeasures if it is definitively confirmed that the mine was planted by Pyongyang, emphasizing that full responsibility lies with the North.
