Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's defense ministry on Friday proposed military talks with North Korea to confirm the location of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL), restore military communication lines, and prevent accidental clashes stemming from unclear border lines, Yonhap and KBS World report. The proposal comes as tensions along the border ramped up in September, and Seoul's unification ministry has urged the North to halt acts that escalate cross-border tensions and violate the Korean War Armistice Agreement. Yonhap adds that three-way talks involving the U.N. Command are also possible. Separately, Korea Times reports lawmakers estimate the North has planted some 960,000 land mines along the border since 2024 as part of its fortification work.
