The Defense Ministry said Tuesday it will hold a special briefing for foreign military attaches stationed in South Korea to explain North Korea's recent landmine explosion in the demilitarized zone.
  

The briefing to be held in the ministry building later in the day will gather together 53 military attaches from 33 foreign countries and will be led by Brig. Gen. Park Cheol-gyun, vice director for international policy, the ministry said in a statement.
  

Brid. Gen. Ahn Young-ho, who headed South Korea's investigation into the incident, will also attend the session to take questions.
  

During the session, the ministry will stress the illegality of the North's latest mine provocation and the security threat it poses to the Korean Peninsula.
  

The meaning of South Korea's warning issued to North Korea following the explosion will also be explained.
  

Two South Korean staff sergeants were seriously injured when the three North Korean wooden-box landmines exploded in the southern side of the DMZ on Aug. 4.
  

South Korea denounced the provocation as violations of the Armistice Agreement and the mutual non-aggression pact signed in 1991. (Yonhap)
