SEOUL, Sept. 30 (Yonhap) -- The United Nations Command (UNC) said Wednesday it found a violation of the Armistice Agreement has occurred over last week's mine blast inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

"Based on the findings of the investigation, UNC determined that an Armistice Agreement violation occurred. UNC is addressing the violation through established Armistice mechanisms," it said in an emailed statement.

The UNC said a joint investigation team with the South Korean military identified an active North Korean mine on the South Korean side of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL).

"UNC remains committed to maintaining and enforcing the Armistice Agreement and fulfilling its responsibilities to preserve stability and prevent escalation on the Korean Peninsula," it said.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff released Monday its preliminary findings on the joint investigation with the UNC on the Sept. 21 mine blast. It determined that North Korean resin antipersonnel mines "highly likely" caused the two explosions that injured three South Korean soldiers. Two of them suffered critical injuries.

North Korea denied its involvement in a statement issued Wednesday by Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of its leader Kim Jong-un, accusing Seoul of fabricating the findings and warning of "merciless" retaliation if the South takes any corresponding actions.

The discovery came a day after the military said North Korean land mines were "highly likely" the cause of the Sept. 21 blast south of the Military Demarcation Line. (PHOTO NOT FOR SALE) (Yonhap)

首尔，9月30日（韩联社）——联合国军司令部（UNC）周三表示，他们发现上周在非军事区（DMZ）内发生的地雷爆炸事件违反了停战协定。

“根据调查结果，北卡罗来纳大学认定发生了违反停战协定的行为。北卡罗来纳大学正在通过既定的停战协定机制处理这一违约事件，”该校在一份电子邮件声明中表示。

联合国表示，与韩国军方联合调查组在军事分界线（MDL）韩国一侧发现了一处朝鲜地雷。

“联合国大会仍致力于维护和执行停战协定，并履行其维护朝鲜半岛稳定和防止局势升级的责任，”声明中写道。

韩国联合参谋本部周一公布了与联合国就9月21日地雷爆炸事件进行的联合调查的初步结果。调查认定，朝鲜制造的树脂杀伤人员地雷“极有可能”引发了两次爆炸，造成三名韩国士兵受伤，其中两人伤势严重。

朝鲜周三发表声明，否认参与此事。声明由朝鲜领导人金正恩的妹妹金与正发表，指责首尔捏造调查结果，并警告称，如果韩国采取任何相应行动，朝鲜将进行“无情”报复。

这张照片由韩国联合参谋本部于2026年9月29日发布，照片显示一枚朝鲜制造的树脂杀伤人员地雷。韩国军方于当日在朝韩非军事区（DMZ）内发现该地雷，该地雷爆炸地点附近，造成三名韩国军人受伤。此前一天，韩国军方表示，朝鲜地雷“极有可能”是9月21日发生在军事分界线以南爆炸事件的罪魁祸首。（照片禁止出售）（韩联社）
