On Wednesday morning (September 30), Lieutenant General Kang Hyun-woo, Chief Director of Operations at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, held a briefing regarding the "North Korean landmine planting incident."

This marks the military's first message directed at North Korea regarding the incident.

Lieutenant General Kang stated that it is "a clear violation of the Armistice Agreement and undermines the spirit of inter-Korean agreements," strongly condemning North Korea for planting the landmines and demanding an apology.
