Blast in Korean DMZ wounds two South Korean soldiers: military
Mon Aug 3, 2015 10:40pm EDT
SEOUL (Reuters) - Two South Korean soldiers were wounded by an explosion on Tuesday, possibly caused by a landmine, in the heavily fortified Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) that divides North and South Korea, military officials said.

The two soldiers, described as officers, were conducting a routine search operation inside the zone, which has divided the two Koreas since the end of the Korean War in 1953, when the so-far unexplained blast happened.

One military official, who asked not to be identified, said the incident possibly involved a landmine and was being investigated.

South Korea is accusing North Korea of having deliberately crossed through the DMZ and set three mines to kill South Korean soldiers.  The south is now promising that its military will deliver a punishment against the north.
