The demilitarized zone separates the territories of the two Korean states, and its security regime requires cooperation between the South Korean army and units under UN command. That is precisely why both sides are involved in clarifying the circumstances of the explosion.
The South Korean army stated that it will verify the cause of the explosion through further searches in the surrounding area. The investigation will include determining the origin of the mine and clarifying the circumstances under which the explosion occurred. It has not yet been confirmed that the device was placed from the North Korean side. teraz.sk ↗
The army plans to release the results of the investigation once the review is complete. Until the origin of the mine is clarified, it remains open whether it was older ordnance located in the demilitarized zone or a device linked to North Korea. Further searches are expected to provide the basis for determining responsibility for the incident.
