Two South Korean soldiers were injured on Tuesday in an explosion in the demilitarised zone (DMZ) located between two Koreas, a South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman told a news conference in Seoul.
The soldiers were on a search operation when the blast occurred and were sent to a military hospital with leg injuries.
The cause of the explosion was being investigated, although most probably it was a land mine, Kim Min-seok said.
