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.

North Korea denied any involvement in South Korea's landmine blasts. North's National Defense Commission called South's allegations "absurd". N.

Retaliating to the mine attack, South Korea resumed its loudspeaker propaganda campaign along the heavily secure border between North Korea and South.

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