New York PostSeptember 21, 2026Developing
Three South Korean military officers were injured in an explosion inside the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea, though authorities have not identified the blast's cause. The DMZ remains one of the world's most heavily fortified borders, with both sides maintaining armed personnel along the 2.5-mile-wide buffer zone established after the 1953 armistice. Unexplained incidents in the region can quickly escalate tensions, making the circumstances and origin of this explosion significant to monitor.
