North Korea accused South Korea of ​​inventing a mine incident in September and sent a letter to the UN Security Council warning that alleged violations of its sovereignty could trigger self-defense, state media KCNA reported on Monday, Reuters. The dispute concerns explosions on September 21 in the demilitarized zone that seriously injured two South Korean soldiers. Seoul said mines planted by North Korea south of the military demarcation line caused the explosions, while the United Nations Command said a North Korean mine that crossed the line violated the truce. Pyongyang has denied responsibility. The North Korean letter also accused South Korea of ​​firing on North Korean personnel. Seoul says it uses warning broadcasts and warning shots when North Korean troops cross the military demarcation line into the southern side. North Korean forces are building roads and fences and laying mines near the border. On Friday, South Korea's defense ministry again proposed military talks with North Korea to reduce the risk of accidental clashes.
