> Tensions are mounting along the heavily fortified Korean border after suspected North Korean landmines injured three South Korean soldiers last week. Seoul and the UN Command say both blasts were caused by mines planted by Pyongyang, but North Korea rejects the claim. Kim Yo Jong called the findings a “conspiratorial farce” and warned of retaliation if South Korean forces fire on troops doing fortification work.
