At around 2 AM on May 13, the two soldiers had secretly gone out toward the Tumen River to collect water to wash their clothes when they accidently stepped on a minefield.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45877\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45877\" style=\"width: 693px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Soldiers-fence-border.jpg\" alt=\"fencing\" width=\"693\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Soldiers-fence-border.jpg 693w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Soldiers-fence-border-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45877\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">North Korean soldiers seen constructing fences along the border last year. \/ Image: Daily NK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to the source, what the authorities found even more concerning was that members of the border patrol and Storm Corps in the area where the incident occurred were either dozing at their posts or drinking alcohol at a local\u2019s home while carrying their weapons.
