Both North & South Korea begin removing landmines at Demilitarized Zone

The two Koreas on Monday began their work to remove landmines in parts of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating them, in line with a recent agreement to reduce tensions and prevent accidental clashes, Seoul’s defense ministry said.

After the latest summit between President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang last month, the two countries’ defense chiefs signed the agreement fleshing out the military part of the April Moon-Kim summit declaration, which promised to halt “all hostile acts” against each other and practically eliminate the danger of war.
