Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korean military estimates that North Korea planted approximately 960,000 land mines inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) since 2024, according to a report to the National Assembly. Yonhap reports that lawmakers cited the figure, which is part of Pyongyang's border fortification work following its declaration of a hostile relationship between the two Koreas. The estimate accounts for roughly half of the estimated total mines buried in the DMZ. Korea Times and KBS World also report the military's estimate of nearly one million mines planted over the past two years.
