SEOUL, Oct. 2 (Yonhap) -- Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, on Friday again rejected blame for the recent mine blast inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and derided Seoul's call to reduce tensions.

In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), she repeated her earlier denial this week, rejecting the South Korean military's findings that blamed the North for the blast, which wounded three South Korean soldiers.

South Korea's military urged Pyongyang to offer an apology and stop fortification work on the border.

"Explaining in a simple and clear way, this is aimed at shutting down the door forever so that we will have nothing to do with the ROK and even wild animals cannot come and go," she said. ROK stands for the Republic of Korea, South Korea's official name.

North Korea wants to "cut off the relationship forever" with the South, she added.

President Lee Jae Myung vowed Thursday to keep pressing for practical ways to ease military tensions with North Korea, even as the two Koreas remain at odds over the blast.

"My administration will consistently pursue practical measures to reduce military tensions between the two Koreas," Lee said at a ceremony marking the 78th Armed Forces Day.

"For the sake of peace on the Korean Peninsula, the two Koreas must find a way to win together and build trust," he said.

She, however, derided President Lee's remarks as "the climax of the farce that everyone should watch."

"Those who wrote the playbook for the farce, directed it and played the actors deserve the precious 'citation,'" Kim said.

首尔，10月2日（韩联社）——朝鲜领导人金正恩的妹妹金与正周五再次否认对最近非军事区（DMZ）内发生的地雷爆炸事件负有责任，并嘲讽首尔方面呼吁缓和紧张局势。

朝鲜中央通讯社（朝中社）发表声明，她本周早些时候再次否认了此事，驳斥了韩国军方将爆炸事件归咎于朝鲜的调查结果。爆炸造成三名韩国士兵受伤。

韩国军方敦促平壤方面道歉并停止在边境修建防御工事。

她解释说：“简单来说，此举旨在永远关闭这扇门，使我们与韩国彻底断绝关系，甚至连野生动物都无法自由出入。”韩国（ROK）是大韩民国的简称，是韩国的正式国名。

她补充说，朝鲜希望“永远切断与韩国的关系”。

尽管朝韩两国在爆炸事件上仍存在分歧，但韩国总统李在明周四誓言将继续努力寻求切实可行的方法来缓解与朝鲜的军事紧张局势。

李在纪念韩国建军节第78个日头上表示：“我的政府将一贯采取切实措施，以缓解朝韩之间的军事紧张局势。”

他说：“为了朝鲜半岛的和平，朝韩必须找到共同获胜、建立互信的途径。”

然而，她却嘲讽李总统的言论是“一场闹剧的高潮，每个人都应该观看”。

金说：“那些编写闹剧剧本、导演并扮演演员的人才配得上这份宝贵的‘荣誉’。”
