[Financial News] The People Power Party has repeatedly claimed that the explosion on the western front on the 21st was highly likely caused by a North Korean mine. Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, said on Facebook on the 22nd, "Even while wearing mine-protection overshoes, he suffered serious injuries. It is highly likely that it was a North Korean mine." He added, "And yet the Republic of Korea Armed Forces (ROK Armed Forces) are merely watching the 'primary enemy,' North Korea, and gauging its reaction."

Mine overshoes (mine-protection overshoes) are specialized military equipment worn over combat boots to protect soldiers' feet and ankles from the blast pressure and fragments produced when a mine detonates.

He also criticized the military authorities' explanation that the site of the explosion was far from the area where North Korea had planted mines. Jang said, "It is difficult to tell whether they are the ROK Armed Forces or spokespeople for the North Korean People's Army."

From the outset, he pointed out that the South Korean military had even brushed off questions about North Korea's crossing of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) and the locations where mines were planted. He also criticized the military, saying that it had refused to answer reporters' questions about whether the sites were 'to the north or south' and had even engaged in a verbal dispute.

Jang attacked the military, saying, "As for measures taken by our military, it has repeated nothing but the irrelevant answer, 'principled measures,'" and added, "In the end, this military's attitude cost our valued military officers their ankles."

Jang also targeted President Lee Jae Myung and former Minister of National Defense Ahn Gyu-back, accusing them of creating this military. He condemned them, saying that 'Ganshin-cheol,' who can no longer even call North Korea the primary enemy, would now follow in his footsteps. [email protected] Reporter Kim Kyung-soo

Signs have been detected that North Korean forces crossed the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) by about 10 to 15 meters and planted mines at six or more locations on the South Korean side.
