Lee Visits Soldiers Injured by Land Mine in DMZ, Pledges Due Compensation
Lee promised full treatment, rehabilitation and compensation after a joint South Korea-United Nations Command investigation blamed North Korea for the mine blasts.
- On Wednesday, President Lee Jae Myung visited three soldiers wounded in last week's landmine explosion inside the Demilitarized Zone, pledging to provide due compensation and full support for their treatment and rehabilitation.
- Two mine explosions on September 21 on the DMZ's southern side wounded the soldiers, with a joint investigation by the South Korean military and the United Nations Command determining North Korean forces planted the mines in what the UNC called a 'violation' of the Korean armistice.
- Kim Yo-jong, powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, rejected the investigation's findings, accusing Seoul of 'cooking up' such results with malicious intent.
- Despite their injuries, the soldiers expressed commitment to continued military service, with one stating 'I want to dedicate myself to the country in any position,' while Lee promised full support for their recovery and rehabilitation.
- Emphasizing the link between soldier welfare and armed services morale, Lee directed officials to ensure sufficient compensation and review broader assistance measures for the wounded personnel and their families.
