He said there was a tunnel under the DMZ, and based on his information, the South Korean government started excavation. However, no signs of tunnels were discovered until water rose up from a borehole set up by the South Korean military following an explosion on June 10, 1978. The 3rd Tunnel was discovered in the DMZ just 4 kilometers south of Panmunjeam on October 17, 1978. It is located 4 kilometers from Imjingak and 52 km from Seoul. The tunnel is 2 meters wide, 2 meters high, and 1,635 meters long. It is a filtration tunnel large enough to move 30,000 troops per hour. Among the tunnels discovered to date, it is the largest in scale, which clearly shows North Korea’s intention for infiltration.
