The explosions occurred on September 21 in the heavily mined buffer zone, injuring three South Korean soldiers.
South Korea's Defence Ministry concluded after an investigation that the explosions were likely caused by North Korean mines. The country's Defence Minister, Kang Shin-Chul, says the explosions are a violation of the ceasefire and that North Korea "bears responsibility."
North Korea's Kim Yo-Jong calls the South Korean statements "contrived" and "dirty," according to state-run KCNA. She also claims that South Korea is trying to "create pretexts" for provocations.
