South Korea’s defence minister said North Korean mines caused a September 21 blast in the Demilitarized Zone and called the incident a violation of the Korean War armistice.
South Korea and the UN Command, which oversees the armistice, have been investigating the explosion inside the 4km-wide DMZ. Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, rejected Seoul’s accusation in a statement carried by the state-run KCNA news agency, alleging that South Korea was trying to fabricate evidence after blaming the North.
