South Korea blames North-planted mines for DMZ blast

Original: S. Korean military concludes N.K.-planted mines caused DMZ blast

South Korea's military has concluded that an explosion in the Demilitarized Zone was caused by landmines planted by North Korea. The finding attributes the blast directly to mines laid on the northern side of the border. The assessment is likely to heighten tensions on the heavily fortified peninsula, though details on casualties or a response have not been reported.

Why now: The official attribution of the blast to North Korean mines raises tensions between the two Koreas.
