Ask what Korea is talking about.

At the UN General Assembly, South and North Korea traded sharp words over escalating tensions along the Military Demarcation Line (MDL), following last month's land mine blasts in the DMZ that injured three South Korean soldiers. Yonhap reports the two sides' verbal sparring intensified, with Seoul urging Pyongyang to halt acts that violate the Armistice Agreement, while the North threatened to reinforce units along the MDL and both sides floated reinstating loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts. South Korea also sent a letter to the UN Security Council president calling on the North to take responsibility for the mine explosions, the Korea Times reports. Korean media frame the exchange as part of a broader standoff, with the unification ministry pressing the North to stop escalating cross-border tensions.
