SEOUL, Oct. 5 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean military launched an operation Monday to remove any remaining land mines planted by North Korea at the site of a recent blast inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that left three South Korean service members injured.

Three South Korean military officers were injured Sept. 21, two seriously, when two land mines south of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) in the western DMZ exploded.

Following a joint inspection of the blast site, the United Nations Command (UNC) and South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) concluded that the mines were "highly likely" planted by North Korea and urged Pyongyang to apologize.

Seoul has also discovered two additional land mines at and near the blast site.

The UNC, which oversees the DMZ, said the latest explosion constituted a violation of the Armistice Agreement that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.

North Korea has denied responsibility for the blast, accusing South Korea of fabricating the findings and warning of "immediate and merciless" retaliation if its troops are fired upon.

首尔，10月5日（韩联社）——韩国军方周一展开行动，清除朝鲜在非军事区（DMZ）近期爆炸地点埋设的剩余地雷。该爆炸导致三名韩国军人受伤。

9月21日，韩国西部非军事区军事分界线（MDL）以南的两枚地雷爆炸，造成三名韩国军官受伤，其中两人伤势严重。

联合国军司令部（UNC）和韩国联合参谋本部（JCS）对爆炸现场进行联合检查后得出结论，认为这些地雷“极有可能”是朝鲜埋设的，并敦促平壤道歉。

首尔方面还在爆炸地点及其附近发现了另外两枚地雷。

负责监管非军事区的联合国军表示，最近发生的爆炸违反了结束 1950-53 年朝鲜战争的停战协定。

朝鲜否认对爆炸事件负责，指责韩国捏造调查结果，并警告说，如果其军队遭到炮击，将立即进行“无情”报复。
