Last month, three South Korean soldiers were injured by land mine explosions near the western border with North Korea, triggering angry exchanges and military warnings between the two countries. South Korea claims North Korea laid the mines, which Pyongyang denies, accusing the South of fabricating the incident. North Korea recently revealed artillery along its western coast, warning of immediate counteraction if South Korean forces cross the border. The disputed border remains a Cold War flashpoint with nearly 2 million troops poised for conflict.
