⚡️🇰🇷🇰🇵 — South Korea is preparing unspecified measures to force North Korea to apologise for a DMZ mine blast that seriously wounded two South Korean soldiers, while calling for talks over the disputed alignment of the Military Demarcation Line, according to Defence Ministry spokesperson Chung Bin-na; Seoul says a joint investigation with the UN Command determined North Korean mines caused the blast and demands Pyongyang remove mines it planted in the DMZ south of the MDL, while acknowledging differences over the precise line dividing the peninsula and their contribution to border tensions. — Reuters

➡️ The MDL runs more than 200 km (124.27 miles) between the east and west coasts and is marked by 1,900 markers, but parts have become difficult to identify after decades of limited access to the DMZ since the line was established in 1953 at the end of the Korean War.

➡️ North Korea rejected Seoul’s accusation as “groundless” on Friday and dismissed its demand for an apology; Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, said Pyongyang had not deliberately planted mines in the border area.
