Current issues of the Korean Demilitarized Zone

As of 1953, the Korean DMZ is still in effect. Most people view it as a peace agreement between the two opposing countries, North and South Korea. However, it is actually only an armistice that is used for a ceasfire. It is only made so that the opposing countries can think of another plan and counter each other.
One of the major issues that are remaining due to the Korean DMZ are the land mines located right in the center of the line itself. These mines are used to protect the people of both sides just in case either side plans to attack each other.
Another issue is the fact that both sides are constantly sending soliders and police officers to the opposing side as to cause trouble and harm to each other. This requires guards from both sides to keep staying on guard for any opposing enemies. This also heats up more hatred against each other due to the fact that they know that they are both trying to hurt each other in some way.
One of the most important issues that both countries, mainly South, have been dealing with is the fact that there are tunnels located beneath the DMZ. It has been assumed that these tunnels were created by North Korea as to send soliders through it and attack the people of South Korea, which goes back to the topic about both Koreas sending men to the opposing side.



This is a simple map showing where the Korean DMZ zone is. Of the four tunnels that have been made, three of them lead to South Korea's capital, Seoul, which could mean that North Korea once tried to invade South Korea from underground.
