South Korea's president has pledged to pursue practical measures aimed at easing tensions with North Korea, following an incident in the Demilitarized Zone that left three South Korean soldiers wounded.
The incident involved two land mines that exploded in the DMZ, the heavily fortified strip of land separating the two Koreas since the end of the Korean War.
In response, the South Korean leader said the government would seek practical approaches to reduce tensions along the inter-Korean border, without providing further specifics on what measures might follow.
The DMZ remains one of the most heavily militarized borders in the world, and incidents involving landmines or other ordnance have periodically raised tensions between Seoul and Pyongyang.
No further details on the condition of the wounded soldiers or the circumstances of the mine explosions were immediately available.
