Yes. On September 28, 2026, South Korean military sources cited initial statements from soldiers involved in the prior week’s Demilitarized Zone explosion saying an undetonated land mine was spotted near the blast site. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said troops reported seeing an object similar to a North Korean wooden-box mine; some accounts described plastic-like appearance or a different mine type, so the exact type was not yet confirmed.
The blast, south of the Military Demarcation Line, severely wounded two South Korean soldiers and lightly injured a third. A joint South Korea–U.N. Command on-site probe had not yet reached the detonation point because of unconfirmed mines and safety risks. The National Forensic Service was analyzing fragments and residue.
