Korea Conflict: After Mine Explosion: North Korea Denies Responsibility
After the mine explosion that injured three South Korean soldiers, North Korea rejects accusations from Seoul. The sister of leader Kim calls it a "conspiracy farce".
North Korea has rejected South Korea's account of a mine explosion that injured three soldiers, with Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, calling the South's military leadership "military gangsters" and their investigation a "staged conspiracy". The explosion occurred on September 21 at the inter-Korean border, with South Korea's general staff saying it was likely caused by a North Korean landmine.
Two soldiers were seriously injured and one lightly injured. North Korea has threatened retaliation if the situation escalates, with Kim Yo Jong warning of "immediate and merciless" strikes if South Korean forces fire on North Korean soldiers.
