首尔方面于周二（9月29日）表示，这一行为属于违反停战协议的行为，因此将采取相应的措施。
Seoul said Tuesday (Sep 29), adding it was an armistice violation that would prompt "corresponding measures".
在非军事区（DMZ）发生的爆炸事件中，有一名士兵失去了腿部。该非军事区是一个布满地雷的缓冲地带，自1953年停战以来一直将朝鲜半岛南北双方分隔开来。
One troop lost a foot due to the explosions in the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), the heavily mined buffer zone that has divided the two Koreas since their 1953 armistice.
该区域的南北边界属于世界上防御最为严密的边境线之一；此前发生的地雷事件曾多次加剧南北朝鲜之间的紧张关系。
The northern and southern boundaries of the zone are among the world's most heavily fortified frontiers and landmine incidents have previously heightened tensions between the two Koreas.
国防部长康信喆的这一表态，是在其部门此前宣布“高度怀疑”是朝鲜埋设了上周发生的这两起爆炸装置之后作出的。
Defence Minister Kang Shin-chul's comments came a day after his ministry said North Korean mines were "highly suspected" of causing the two explosions last week.
在议会听证会上，当被问及军方是否初步认定这些地雷来自朝鲜时，康信喆表示：“这明显违反了停战协议，既然责任在朝鲜方面，我们必将采取相应措施。”
"This is a clear violation of the armistice agreement, and since North Korea bears responsibility, we will take corresponding measures," he told a parliamentary hearing, when asked whether the military had tentatively concluded that the mine was North Korean.
康信喆还提到，韩国军队进入非军事区是为了在与联合国军司令部的联合行动之前清理该地区，以评估朝鲜军队在军事分界线（即两国实际边界）以南地区所造成的地形变化。
Kang said South Korean forces were in the DMZ to clear the area in advance of an operation with the UN Command to assess terrain changes caused by North Korean forces south of the Military Demarcation Line, which marks the nations' effective border.
部长称，军方使用的探雷设备属于“最新型号”，但由于该地区植被茂密，探雷工作受到了阻碍；他同时指出：“由于探雷设备的工作高度较高，因此难以清除所有地雷。”
The mine detectors used by the officials were the "latest models", the minister said, but detection efforts were hampered by dense vegetation in the area, noting that "clearing all the vegetation as they advanced was difficult". "Our current assessment is that the mines may not have been detected because the detectors were being operated too far above the ground," he said.
在听证会上，联合参谋本部的杨镇赫向议员们报告称，周二早些时候在爆炸现场发现了一枚未爆炸的朝鲜制造的塑料反人员地雷。
At the hearing, Yang Jin-hyeok of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told lawmakers that a site investigation earlier on Tuesday discovered an unexploded North Korean plastic anti-personnel mine.
康信喆还表示：“军方已准备好一系列必要的应对措施，并将分阶段予以实施”，但并未透露具体细节。
Kang told lawmakers the military "has a range of necessary measures at our disposal, and we will implement them in stages", without giving details.
自朝鲜冲突以停战协议结束以来，首尔与平壤在法律上仍处于战争状态（即两国之间并未签署正式的和平条约）。“主要敌人”……韩国联合参谋本部副参谋长权大元周一表示，在9月21日的事件中，有两枚地雷发生了爆炸；在士兵们撤离现场时，还发现了一枚未爆炸的地雷。
Seoul and Pyongyang remain technically at war since the Korean conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. "PRINCIPAL ENEMY" Kwon Dae-won, vice chairman of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Monday that two landmines exploded during the Sep 21 incident and that a third, unexploded mine was found while soldiers were withdrawing after the blast.
权大元当时说：“根据爆炸形成的弹坑以及火焰的分布情况，以及士兵们所受的伤势……我们判断这起爆炸极有可能是朝鲜埋设的地雷造成的。”
"Taking into account the crater and the pattern of the flames from the explosion, the extent of the injuries sustained by the service members ... we assess that North Korean landmines are highly suspected to have caused the blast," Kwon said at the time.
自2024年以来，自从朝鲜领导人金正恩将韩国列为“主要敌人”后，平壤方面一直在边境地区埋设地雷并修建反坦克障碍物，试图永久封锁边境。
Since 2024, after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un designated South Korea as his country's "principal enemy", Pyongyang's military has laid mines and built anti-tank barriers along the frontier as part of efforts to permanently seal it off.
在2015年的一次地雷事件中，两名韩国士兵在非军事区（DMZ）南部遭到爆炸袭击，其中一人失去了双腿。
In a 2015 landmine incident, two South Korean soldiers were seriously wounded in a blast on the southern side of the DMZ, with one losing both legs.
韩国方面认为这些地雷是朝鲜军队越境埋设的，但平壤方面对此予以否认。此次事件促使韩国重新在边境地区使用扩音器对朝鲜进行广播。
Seoul concluded that North Korean troops had crossed the Military Demarcation Line to plant the mines, an accusation Pyongyang denied. The incident prompted South Korea to resume anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker broadcasts along the border.
