UNC's future plan on NK mine blast issue under wraps

The United Nations Command (UNC) Is Not Disclosing What Follow-up Measures It Would Take In Response To The North Korean Land Mine Explosion South Of The Military Demarcation Line (MDL), Although It Recognized The North Violated The 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement. According To Sources Familiar With The UNC, Thursday, Details Of Possible Next Steps Cannot Be Disclosed At This Stage, While The Absence Of An Immediate Measure Does Not Mean Further Action Has Been Ruled Out. Late Last Month, The UNC And South Korean Military Conducted A Joint Investigation On The Site Of The Sept. 21 Mine Blast Within The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), Which Seriously Injured Several South Korean Soldiers, And Announced The North Violated The Armistice Agreement By Laying Mines In South Korean Territory. Sources Said That Besides The Official Announcement Of The Armistice Violation, UNC So Far Has Nothing To Additionally Announce, Such As Whether It Would Raise The Issue To The U.N. The Command’s Relationship With The U.N. Involves Separate Questions Of Operational Authority And Reporting Responsibilities. UNC
