Tree trimming in Korean DMZ triggers naval alert and retaliation claims
North Korea labeled the tree cutting at Panmunjom a grave provocation as a UNC party felled a 40 foot Normandy poplar in the joint security area. Two American officers died in a melee sparked by guards objecting to trimming the tree. The U.S. Navy headed a task force toward Korean waters while warnings and mobilizations increased on both sides.
