Presidential official pledges prompt, thorough probe into DMZ explosions

MEXICO CITY - A presidential official has promised an immediate and comprehensive investigation into the origin of explosions in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that wounded three South Korean soldiers, according to a statement released on Thursday during President Lee Jae Myung's visit to Mexico. The official's pledge came in response to the suspected mine blasts that took place on Monday and led to an urgent forensic examination of the mine fragments to ascertain their Korean origin.

The official emphasized the necessity of a meticulous fact-finding mission to ascertain the type of mines involved, their placement, and whether they were laid by North Korea or otherwise, if they did not originate from North Korea. The probe is being conducted meticulously in tandem with the United Nations Command, given the heightened risk at the explosion site, which is a recently established observation route, making it perilous to navigate.
