Korean DMZ Conflict
The Korean DMZ Conflict refers to the ongoing tensions between North Korea and South Korea along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which was established in 1953 after the Korean War. This heavily fortified border serves as a buffer zone, preventing direct military engagement between the two nations. Despite the ceasefire, no formal peace treaty was signed, leading to a state of ongoing conflict.
The DMZ is one of the most militarized areas in the world, with troops, barbed wire, and surveillance systems on both sides. Incidents of skirmishes and military provocations have occurred over the years, contributing to the fragile security situation in the region.
