Explosions in the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) earlier this month have set off a war of words between North and South Korea

South Korea's military has demanded an apology from North Korea for landmine blasts along their shared border that wounded South Korean soldiers earlier this month.

Three South Korean personnel were injured by explosions in the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) - a buffer zone separating the two Koreas, on 21 September.

Her statement, published in state media on Wednesday, also warned the South to be "prepared for paying price for the farce of their own making."
