South Korea proposes military talks with North Korea AGAIN after a DMZ landmine blast seriously injured two of its soldiers

South Korea proposes military talks with North Korea AGAIN after a DMZ landmine blast seriously injured two of its soldiers

Deputy defence minister Kim Hong-cheol announced the offer on Friday, aimed at establishing the precise location of the land border and reducing the likelihood of accidental clashes. He said North Korean troops had crossed the line to construct tactical roads and fences and plant mines inside the DMZ. Seoul put forward the same proposal last November. Pyongyang never replied.

Seoul's military says the North placed the mines on the southern side of the border; Pyongyang rejects this.

Kim Jong Un's sister issued what she called 'not a threat, but a clear warning'.
