首尔消息：朝鲜领导人之妹金与正于10月8日周四表示，在平壤否认对导致韩国士兵受伤的非军事区地雷爆炸事件负责后，首尔必须展现‘最大尊重’才能修复两国关系。
SEOUL: The powerful sister of North Korea's leader said on Thursday (Oct 8) that Seoul must show the "utmost respect" to mend ties, after Pyongyang denied responsibility for a DMZ mine blast that wounded South Korean soldiers.
朝鲜方面否认上月在非军事区内引发三名韩国士兵受伤的爆炸事件系其所为。该非军事区自1953年停战协定签署以来便作为两国间的隔离带，布设了大量地雷。
North Korea has denied being behind the explosion that injured three soldiers last month inside the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), the heavily mined buffer dividing the two Koreas since their 1953 armistice.
上周韩国军方要求朝鲜正式道歉，指责其‘明显违反停战协定’；不过韩国文官政府仍呼吁朝鲜恢复对话。
The South Korean military demanded an official apology last week, accusing Pyongyang of "a clear violation of the Armistice Agreement" - although Seoul's civilian leadership called the North to return to dialogue.
金与正周四指出：‘倘若韩国真心希望修复朝韩关系，就应在言行中体察对方感受，首先展现出最大的尊重、体贴与诚意。’她在此处使用了朝鲜的官方简称。
"If they (South Korea) truly wish to restore relations between the DPRK and South Korea, they should be mindful of the other side's feelings in every word and deed, and first demonstrate the utmost respect, consideration and sincerity," Kim Yo Jong said Thursday, using her country's official acronym.
首尔方面以及以美国为首的联合国军司令部均认定，此次爆炸系朝鲜在韩方边境一侧布设的地雷所致。
Seoul, as well as the US-led United Nations Command, said the blast was caused by North Korean mines laid on the South Korean side of the border.
