South Korea Recovers Landmines Washed from North by Floods The recent monsoon floods in North Korea have exposed a long buried secret: the threat of landmines along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is far from contained.
The floods washed 15 North Korean landmines into South Korean coastal areas, prompting authorities to take swift action and raising concerns about the impact on tourism.
The estimated 800,000 landmines buried in the DMZ pose a constant risk to locals and visitors alike.
