Coreea de Nord neagă că a amplasat minele și acuză Seulul de conspirație
Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, denied South Korea's claims regarding landmines injuring soldiers. She warned of retaliation if South Korea fires on North Korean troops fortifying the border. The incidents occurred near the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone, where South Korea's military reported that the explosions were caused by North Korean mines. The UN Command confirmed North Korea's violation of the armistice agreement. Tensions have escalated between the two Koreas, with North Korea rejecting US calls for diplomatic talks, insisting on the removal of denuclearization demands as a precondition.
