South Korea’s military fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers violated the military demarcation line, prompting them to return, according to Yonhap news agency.
The incident occurred in the eastern area of the demilitarized zone, with multiple North Korean soldiers crossing the line. The soldiers were likely patrolling the area when they crossed the line, and no other unusual activity was reported after they returned.
This is the first reported violation of the demarcation line by the North Korean military this year. North Korean troops violated the line 17 times last year.
The two Koreas are still technically at war after their 1950-53 war ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
