- 1U.N. Command: North Korean mines injured South Korean soldiers, violated armistice▼U.N. Command says North Korean land mines that injured South Korean soldiers violated 1953 armistice
The U.N. Command has determined that land mines in the Korean Demilitarized Zone planted by North Korea injured South Korean soldiers and constituted a violation of the 1953 armistice that ended hostilities in the Korean War. The finding formalizes blame for the incident and raises fresh tensions over compliance with the truce that still governs the border between the two Koreas.
