    South Korea blames North for the mine attack
  • South Korea's military accused North Korea for planting land mines in the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) border.

    It termed the attack as a cowardly act of provocation and threatened retaliation against North Korea.

    South's military said that there was evidence that North Korean soldiers had crossed the Military Demarcation Line to plant the mines.

    This denunciation further raised tensions between the two nations.

  • North Korea denied any involvement in South Korea's landmine blasts.

    North's National Defense Commission called South's allegations "absurd".

    N. Korea said that the mines were for defensive purposes and if North really wanted to attack it would have used more powerful 'firearms and not three mines'.

    An investigation by South Korea and the US-led UN Command had declared that the mines were North Korean.

    This retaliation created ripples in the Korean politics with North Koreans being highly critical of it.

    Loudspeaker warfare makes a return after 10 years

  • The loudspeaker broadcasts have been commonplace in Korea since the 1950-53 Korean War and were put to a stop in 2004 by the South Korean government.

    North has termed this as an 'anti-north psychological warfare' by South Korea.
