Kim Yo-jung, head of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, said in a statement on the 29th that recently, a landmine explosion occurred along the southern border, and the South Korean military used this to once again provoke North Korea. Kim Yo-jung said that South Korea is shifting responsibility for the landmine explosion to North Korea in an attempt to fabricate “physical evidence” to prove it. This is ridiculous. Kim Yo-jung warned that South Korea would take responsibility for its provocative acts. According to Yonhap TV on the 21st, citing sources from the South Korean military, the 25th Division of the South Korean Army had a suspected landmine explosion while carrying out a mission in the demilitarized zone on the South Korean side near the military demarcation line between South Korea and North Korea. As a result, 3 people were injured, 2 of whom were seriously injured. On the 29th, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung asked the military to quickly find out the truth and said that the government will take necessary measures depending on the investigation results.
