Four bodies suspected of originating in North Korea have washed up in rivers in Gyeonggi this past month, raising questions about how and why they ended up dead in the South.
At an estuary of Imjin River in Gimpo, Gyeonggi, on Thursday, marines in protective gear search for land mines that may have washed downstream from North Korea by recent torrential rainfall and flooding.
Areas near the inter-Korean border in Gyeonggi have lost fishing vessels and sustained extensive damage after multiple, abrupt discharges from an upstream dam operated by North Korea during the prolonged monsoon season.
