Three South Korean soldiers injured in DMZ blast
–
Neutral summary
An explosion in the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas injured three South Korean military officers on Monday, September 21, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The blast took place during an operation in the western section of the DMZ, south of the Military Demarcation Line, the JCS said. Two of the injured were transported by emergency helicopter to the Armed Forces Capital Hospital, where they are receiving treatment, The Korea Herald reported. The cause of the explosion has not been officially determined: South Korean media, including Yonhap, suspect a landmine, but The Japan Times noted it was unclear whether it was a North Korean mine, a South Korean mine, or another explosive device. The DMZ, established after the 1950-53 Korean War, is one of the world's most heavily mined areas, with BFMTV estimating more than 800,000 mines scattered across the buffer zone. Authorities have opened an investigation into the incident.
