KIM Jong-un’s henchmen are tossing explosives into the sea near a South Korean beach to maim and kill American and British visitors

They have been throwing landmines into the Yellow Sea knowing that strong local currents take them to the waters directly off the popular destination, according to reports.

Dongmak Beach on Ganghwa Island is a popular destination for foreigners and locals wanting to escape the bustling capital city of Seoul for the day.

But is also slap bang next door to the tense border between North and South as the two sides teeter on the brink of war.

But North Korean military bosses have discovered strong currents push the landmines around the island before dumping them on the beach.

Now signs have gone up warning people how to spot the various shapes and sizes of landmines.

One reads: “Watch out for loose landmines from North Korea.

“Due to the monsoon and raining season, we have been finding landmines near the beach and it is possible that there are more.

“If you see any objects that look like the mines in the picture below, do not touch it and please contact military services.”

The sign continues: “Any attempt to open or apply force will trigger an explosion."

7 Another sign reads: 'Due to the monsoon and rain we have been finding wooden mines from North Korea. If you do find a mine, do not touch it'

7 The sign reads: 'Protection against unidentified explosives (wooden box mines) We have identified several mines in this reason and we expect to see more'

7 The beach is usually thronged with international visitors

More than 110 landmines have been found so far.

There's also a sign from the Incheon Provincial Police Agency stating: "Protection against unidentified explosives (wooden box mines). We have identified several mines and we expect to see more."

But many unsuspecting beach-goers from the West can’t read the signs because they are in Korean.

The land mine problem is the last thing that local restaurant and store owners need as they fight to retain tourist customers.

Shopkeeper Cho Ga Ung, who’s lived on the island for 17 years, was reticent to talk about the landmines.

He said: "Course, those kids [North Koreans] do it on purpose. During the monsoon season, the North Korean soldiers throw loose landmines down here.

"Those mines drift down on to the other islands, but they eventually reach here. Some people have died from it you know.

"It’s not a one-time thing, mines come here every monsoon. This has been happening for years and been getting worse since Kim Jong-un got in power. He’s just like his father.

"The military and police have put around signs, the commander of the marines commissioned the signs himself. We’re just trying to make a living, you know, there’s not much to what we think.

"This is the most active street on this side of the island, and we’re in the middle of it. But there’s not much we locals can do to stop the mines from coming.

"Who knows if this problem is going to get worse? No one knows if the North Koreans are going to drift more or less mines in the future. We rely on local and foreign tourists, it has hurt our business, but the point is we’re still here opening our shops even if we don’t know what will happen."

Yet while Kim is keen to kill and maim those outside his country, a Nazi concentration camp survivor has said North Korea’s brutal political prisons are worse than Auschwitz.
