North Korea has rejected accusations from South Korea regarding landmines placed along their shared border, dismissing the claims as a "conspiracy farce," according to Euronews en Español.
In recent years, North Korea has installed landmines, anti-tank barriers and other fortifications along the frontline, a build-up that has raised concern in South Korea over a growing North Korean military presence near the border.
The report did not include further detail on when North Korea's rejection was issued, through what channel, or the specific accusations South Korea had made regarding the mines.
Tensions along the inter-Korean border have periodically flared in recent years amid broader disputes between Pyongyang and Seoul, including over military posturing and infrastructure near the demilitarized zone.
Neither government's full statements were quoted directly in the available report.
