In a recent incident, North Korea has rejected South Korea's claim that the country was responsible for landmine blasts that occurred on September 21 near the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), injuring three South Korean soldiers. Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, made the denial in a statement, calling the South's claim "too low and dirty."
The explosions, one of which resulted in a soldier losing a foot, have heightened tensions between the two nations, who remain technically at war since the Korean conflict ended in 1953. Seoul's Defense Ministry concluded that North Korean mines were highly suspected of causing the blasts, but North Korea maintains its innocence and accuses South Korea of using the incident as a pretext for political and military provocation.
