South Korea has penned a letter to the president of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in response to last month's land mine explosion near the inter-Korean border, which left three South Korean soldiers injured, officials disclosed on Thursday. Ambassador Cha Ji-hoon, representing South Korea at the United Nations, dispatched the roughly two-page missive to the Greek representative, who currently holds the rotating UNSC presidency, detailing the conclusions of an investigation into the Sept.
21 incident in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), according to the South Korean mission to the U.N. The letter underscores that the explosion was caused by a land mine placed by North Korean forces, violating the Korean War Armistice Agreement. It urges Pyongyang to assume responsibility and engage in dialogue to avert further escalation and restore trust.
A South Korean government source stated that the letter is anticipated to be forwarded among Security Council members once it receives approval.
