Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's defense ministry on Friday (Oct. 23) again proposed military talks with North Korea to confirm the location of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL), restore military communication lines, and prevent accidental clashes from unclear border lines, Yonhap and KBS World report. Seoul also said three-way talks involving the U.N. Command are possible, and the unification ministry separately urged the North to halt border tensions and Armistice violations. The proposal follows heightened tensions since September, when South Korea reportedly took steps near the border; lawmakers also estimated the North has planted about 960,000 land mines along the border since 2024. Korean media frame the move as a renewed effort to ease inter-Korean friction, though no North Korean response has been reported.
