South Korea says evidence from last week’s deadly DMZ blast points strongly to a North Korean mine, raising the prospect of a new military confrontation along the border.
Investigators returning to the Sept. 21 blast site found traces of TNT and other material that Seoul says do not match South Korean anti-personnel mines. Two soldiers were seriously wounded and a third suffered minor injuries.
The military also noted that North Korean troops had previously been observed laying mines in nearby areas. Seoul says Pyongyang will be held fully responsible if the preliminary finding is confirmed, and has warned that follow-up measures will be taken.
