A Surion military transport helicopter flies over the southern boundary of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas on the western front-line border in the South Korean border city of Paju on Sept. 22, 2026, after a suspected land mine exploded south of the Military Demarcation Line in the western sector of the DMZ the previous day during a route clearance operation over a potential North Korea-created minefield. The explosion left three military officers injured, including one who lost his ankle. (Yonhap)
