🧬 AI profile — grown from 6ic coverage The Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, is a buffer zone between North and South Korea established in 1953 as part of the Armistice Agreement that ended the Korean War. It serves as a physical and symbolic divide between the two countries, approximately 2.5 miles wide and 155 miles long, and is one of the most heavily militarized borders in the world. Recent North Korean activity in the DMZ has heightened tensions between the two nations.
