Between April 1 and November 27 soldiers will search and clear landmines from areas spanning some 60,000 square meters in border towns in Gyeonggi Province and the southern provinces of Gyeongsang and Jeolla, Yonhap news agency reported.
Millions of landmines are believed to have been buried on the divided peninsula during the 1950-53 Korean War, and many remain unaccounted for.
Efforts to clear landmines south of the Demilitarized Zone that bisects divides the two Koreas and other civilian areas began in 2005.
Last year alone, 312 anti-tank and 121 anti-personnel mines were removed, bringing the total number of mines removed to 25,188.
The two Koreas remain technically at war since their war ended in a truce, not a peace treaty.
