The South Korean government has sent a letter to the chair of the United Nations Security Council (Greece) regarding the explosion of landmines south of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL).
On October 23, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, "The chair has approved the circulation, and it is expected to be circulated soon." The letter will soon be registered as an official document of the Security Council and will be posted on the Security Council's website within a few days.
Previously, spokesperson Park Du-sun stated, "We will thoroughly explain the objective investigation results and the government's position to major countries and the international community," indicating the letter's dispatch.
He added, "The letter will clarify that the explosion was caused by landmines planted by North Korean troops and constitutes a violation of the armistice agreement." He also mentioned that it would demand an apology from North Korea and call for responsible measures, as well as dialogue to prevent escalating tensions and restore trust.
Furthermore, he noted, "We aim to draw attention to North Korea's attempts to label our military's legitimate operational activities near the MDL as provocations, shifting the responsibility for rising tensions onto us."
