South Korea's military has located an undetonated mine near the site of a blast inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that injured three South Korean soldiers, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
Investigators are examining whether mines planted by North Korea were responsible for the explosion, though the exact circumstances of the incident have not been fully disclosed in the available report.
The DMZ, a heavily fortified buffer strip separating North and South Korea, remains littered with landmines and other unexploded ordnance dating back decades, making patrols and any work in the area hazardous.
Details on the condition of the three injured troops, the precise location of the blast within the zone, or the timeline of the incident were not included in the report reviewed.
South Korean authorities have not yet issued a formal conclusion on the cause of the explosion, and the investigation into the discovery of the additional undetonated mine is ongoing.
