Presidential official pledges prompt, thorough probe into DMZ explosions

A presidential official has pledged a prompt and thorough investigation into the recent explosions in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that injured three South Korean soldiers. The official, accompanying President Lee Jae Myung on his state visit to Mexico, assured reporters that an objective and thorough investigation is underway. The investigation aims to determine whether the mine fragments collected are of South or North Korean origin, as well as the type of mines and how they were buried.

The probe is being carried out carefully in coordination with the United Nations Command due to the site being a new reconnaissance route, making it dangerous to tread on.
