Seoul vows principled measures over DMZ blast

South Korea's top security adviser, Wi, said on Friday (Oct. 30) that Seoul will continue taking necessary measures based on 'clear principles' in response to the recent mine blast in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), reiterating the government's stance. Yonhap and the Korea Times report this commitment, with Wi emphasizing the government's consistent approach. The blast follows reports that North Korea has laid an estimated 960,000 new landmines in and around the DMZ over the past two years, according to Business Korea, which cites South Korean military estimates and Pyongyang's dismissal of Seoul's armistice violation claims as 'fabrication'.
