South Korea, UN blame North for demilitarized zone mine explosion


(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) North Korea was responsible for a land mine explosion
that injured two soldiers last week in the demilitarized zone (DMZ)
between North and South Korea, UN and Seoul authorities said Monday, according to dpa.

The remains of wooden cases, spring parts and TNT explosives found at
the site indicated Pyongyang's involvement, the head of the military
investigation was quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency.

'The explosives are clearly wooden-box mines that the North Korean
army is using,' South Korean army Brigadier General Ahn Young Ho
said.

South Korean and US forces are scheduled to hold regular drills next
week.
