The Democratic Party announced on October 2 that it has proposed a resolution condemning the recent mine explosion incident involving North Korean landmines in the western front demilitarized zone (DMZ).
In a press release around 5 p.m., the party stated that it submitted the "Resolution Condemning the North Korean Mine Explosion Incident in the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) South Area" to the National Assembly's proposal office.
The Democratic Party explained that the resolution reflects "serious condemnation of the explosion incident that occurred during the 25th Division's DMZ search route development operation on September 21, as well as our commitment to the safety of our soldiers and the protection of security sovereignty."
Earlier, Han Byeong-do, the Democratic Party's floor leader, announced during a policy coordination meeting held in the National Assembly the day before that the party would adopt such a resolution. Additionally, the National Assembly's Defense Committee passed a resolution condemning North Korea during a full meeting on September 29.
At that time, Floor Leader Han stated, "The recent DMZ explosion incident is a clear violation of the armistice agreement by North Korea. We urge North Korea to apologize and take responsible measures. We strongly condemn North Korea's provocative actions that threaten peace on the Korean Peninsula," calling for an official apology and preventive measures from the North Korean authorities.
