Uljin–Samcheok Landings
1968 unsuccessful infiltration attempt by North Korea
Uljin–Samcheok Landings
The Uljin-Samcheok landings was an unsuccessful attempt by North Korea to establish guerrilla camps in the Taebaek Mountains from October 30, 1968, in order to topple Park Chung-hee's regime and bring about the reunification of Korea. As the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) became increasingly harder to penetrate following the Blue House Raid, Kim Il Sung deployed 120 North Korean commandos along eight separate coastal locations between Uljin and Samcheok in Gangwon Province on a mission to indoctrinate South Korean citizens. However, the attempt failed, and the North Korean commandos were routed by South Korean and American forces.
