Two of South Korea's soldiers, who were patrolling the demilitarized zone last week, reportedly suffered grave injuries from landmines that were placed along the southern half of the DMZ. The wounds were so bad that one soldier had to completely sever his foot at the ankle while the other soldier's legs were partly amputated on each side.

An investigation led by the United Nations Command (under the aegis of the U.S.) in Korea resulted in the finding that the landmines were placed recently, dissolving the possibility that they were from a foregone era. Through this research, the United Nations Command further declared that the North Korean People's Army violated parts of the armistice formed between the north and the south back in the 1950s.

So far, South Korea has responded strongly with Major General Koo Hong Mo, the director of operations for the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff, announcing a warning to the north that they will "pay a harsh price" for planting the mines. Additionally, Koo demanded an apology from the north's leaders and the need to punish the persons responsible.

As a counterattack, South Korea plans to wage psychological warfare with the north by blasting propaganda from its loudspeakers. Such tactics were placed on halt over ten years ago, during a time when the north-south relations were not as tense. The South Korean Defense Ministry has not disclosed exactly when the propaganda will start, but it is sure to rouse a reaction from the north, especially since the propaganda is a way of demeaning and condemning the leadership of Kim Jong Un.
