ROK Army Soldier Injured By Blast Along the DMZ
|I would not be surprised if this is an old landmine that may have been washed out of the ground by rain:
A South Korean soldier in a frontline Army unit was wounded due to an unidentified explosion during a border defense mission earlier this week, officials said Wednesday.
The blast occurred Tuesday when the soldier was conducting a land clearing operation to ensure visibility near a general outpost of the Army’s First Corps that lies just south of the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas.
He is currently receiving treatment for an injury to his toes, the officials said.
The military authorities are trying to ascertain the exact cause of the explosion, including the possibility of a stray landmine blast.

What rain?!?! Hasn’t rained for a long while here.
One less land mine for the parasite army to encounter on the way south.
While t feel very sorry for the soldier, I don’t think kicking things is the best way to “clear” an area…
