South Korea renews offer of military talks with North Korea

 # South Korea has again proposed military talks with North Korea to clarify the countries’ disputed land border and reduce the risk of accidental clashes. The proposal follows a landmine explosion in the Demilitarised Zone last month that injured three South Korean soldiers. Seoul says North Korean troops have crossed the military demarcation line while building roads and fences and laying mines near the border. Pyongyang denies responsibility for the incident. A similar proposal last year received no response from the North.
