Summary

The United Nations Command and South Korea's military said Wednesday that North Korean land mines found in the Demilitarized Zone violated the Korean War armistice agreement, after investigators found an active mine south of the inter-Korean border. South Korea is demanding an apology from Pyongyang for blasts earlier this month that seriously injured three South Korean personnel.
