South Korea’s military said Monday it concluded North Korea planted mines that injured three South Korean soldiers at their heavily fortified border last month, urging the North to apologize and remove other mines.
The announcement came days after North Korea denied responsibility for the Sept. 21 blasts and threatened “merciless” retaliation if provoked over the case. It followed South Korea's earlier, preliminary finding that said there was a “very high possibility” that mines buried by North Korea caused the explosions.
