What happened
Visitors to an observatory in Gimpo reported seeing artillery vehicles near the border with North Korea, as tensions between the two countries continue to rise. This escalation follows a landmine explosion in September, which led Seoul to demand an apology from Pyongyang. By October 26, reports indicated that three vehicles had been seen with their gun barrels pointing south.
