The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rejected South Korean findings that North Korea likely planted land mines that injured three South Korean soldiers last week. In her denial on Wednesday, she accused Seoul of fabricating a conspiracy regarding the incident.
The event took place along the Demilitarised Zone, noted as one of the world's most heavily fortified frontiers. Landmine incidents in this sensitive border region have significantly heightened ongoing tensions between the two rival Koreas.
