DMZ landmine explosion accusations are being fiercely denied by North Korea, with Kim Yo-jong dismissing the latest military report as a fabricated act.

Kim Yo-jong’s Response to Military Findings

Kim Yo-jong, the high-ranking official of the Workers’ Party of Korea, officially responded to South Korea’s recent announcement. The South Korean military had previously suggested a high probability that the explosion occurring in the western section of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) was caused by North Korean landmines.

Denial of Allegations

In her official statement, Kim Yo-jong categorized the South Korean military’s findings as a “self-staged circus” or a “fabricated clown show.” By labeling the incident a work of fiction, she has effectively rejected any responsibility or link between North Korean military assets and the blast, escalating tensions surrounding border security incidents.
