South Korea's top security adviser, Wi Sung-lac, has stated that the country will take necessary measures based on clear principles in response to the recent mine blast in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The incident, which occurred in September and wounded three South Korean soldiers, two of them seriously, has prompted the government to focus on establishing peace that eliminates the need for fighting.
National Security Adviser Wi emphasized that Seoul will continue to demand an apology from North Korea, remove mines at the accident site, and ensure the military's readiness through test-firing a hypersonic missile. Additionally, the government has proposed military talks with North Korea on several occasions to clear up any remaining tensions.
