South Korea President Urges Pyongyang Dialogue After DMZ Blasts
Lee said Seoul will keep seeking dialogue as investigators found an active North Korean mine on the ROK side of the Military Demarcation Line.
- On Thursday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung urged North Korea to restore trust and resume dialogue, a day after a landmine blast in the Demilitarized Zone injured three South Korean soldiers.
- The US-led United Nations Command and Seoul's military concluded that a North Korean anti-personnel mine caused the September 21 explosion, determining it violated the 1953 Armistice Agreement.
- Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, rejected the findings on Wednesday, calling the assertion "too low and dirty" and warning of retaliation against hostile acts.
- President Lee announced a defense modernization agenda including nuclear-powered submarines by the mid-2030s and AI-based command-and-control systems to strengthen military capabilities.
- While Lee pursues practical measures to reduce tensions, Pyongyang has largely rejected his overtures and continues border fortification, leaving inter-Korean reconciliation uncertain.
