The 3rd Tunnel
Location - Jeomwon-ri, Gunnae-myeon, Paju-si
 
> Introduction

The third tunnel was discovered in October 1978, which is only 12km from Munsan and 52 km from Seoul. The 1.635 meters-long tunnel with 2 meters high and 2 meters wide is capable of moving a full division per hour. It is evidently designed for an invasion of the south. North Korea insisted that it was designed for a surprise attack on the north by South Korea when it was found out. But it was proved that North Korean¡¯s insistence is untrue because traces of blasting inside tunnel were going to the south.
