According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 6th, North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the same day saying that the recent landmine explosion in the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea was a farce created by South Korea unilaterally and imposed conclusions. The South Korean side's transfer of responsibility to North Korea damaged the image of the North Korean nation and was a major provocation that must not be tolerated. The statement said that the incident was a plot by the South Korean military to discredit the South Korean border fortification project as a “military violation” and shift responsibility for the accident to North Korea. North Korea will secure the southern border in a more determined and bold manner.
