South Korean military, UN command launch investigation into DMZ explosion
- On Saturday, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the United Nations Command conducted a joint survey at a suspected mine blast site inside the Demilitarized Zone to secure an access route ahead of an on-site probe.
- Monday's explosion south of the Military Demarcation Line severely injured two officers from the 25th Infantry Division, a front-line unit on the western section of the heavily fortified border.
- A survey team comprising about 20 personnel reached the vicinity using mine detectors, including members of the JCS' on-site investigation task force led by the JCS vice chairman.
- Rep. Han Dong-hoon asserted the military rejected an earlier UNC proposal to launch the probe on the blast day, claiming the government moved the investigation to Sunday instead of Tuesday following public outcry.
- The JCS is preparing for a thorough joint probe with the UNC while "prioritizing the safety of our service members," officials said, promising to "objectively and transparently explain" investigation results to the public.
