South Korea's top military commander said Thursday he had not thought of the recent mine blast near the inter-Korean border as anything other than a "provocation" by North Korea, while vowing to review response measures. Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Chairman Gen. Jin Yong-sung made the remarks as some opposition lawmakers have raised issues with the South Korean military for allegedly refraining from depicting the Sept. 21 blast as a "provocation" by the North. "There was not a single moment when I thought it was anything other than a provocation when one of my men was seriously injured," Jin said during a parliamentary audit. "But I had not paid close attention to the fact that the term 'provocation' was not included in the announcement," he said when asked why the military had left out the term during Monday's briefing. The JCS concluded its joint investigation with the U.N. Command into the mine blast on Monday, confirming its preliminary findings that resin antipersonnel mines deliberately planted by Pyongyang south of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) were the cause of the blast.
