South Korea's military attributes a recent mine blast to North Korean mines, injuring three soldiers.

The South Korean military has determined that a mine blast near the border, which resulted in injuries to three soldiers, was caused by mines allegedly planted by North Korea.

This incident has escalated tensions between the two Koreas, with South Korea demanding an official apology from the North.

The military's investigation concluded that the mines were a direct violation of the armistice agreement, which prohibits such actions near the demilitarized zone.

Officials in Seoul are expressing concern over the safety of their troops and the potential for further incidents, urging North Korea to take responsibility for its actions.

As the situation develops, both nations remain on high alert, with military readiness being a top priority for South Korea.
