> South Korea’s military has demanded an apology from North Korea after landmine explosions in the DMZ injured three South Korean personnel earlier this month. Seoul says the blasts were highly likely caused by North Korean mines and violated the 1953 armistice. Pyongyang denies responsibility, calls the claims groundless, and warns the South will pay a price.
