Military incidents occur repeatedly on the land and sea border between South and North Korea. In the most recent incident, South Korean soldiers fired warning shots.
Another military incident has occurred on the heavily fortified border between South and North Korea. During the incident, South Korean border guards fired warning shots after several North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the military demarcation line in the buffer zone between the two countries, the General Staff in Seoul announced. The soldiers from North Korea immediately retreated back across the border line without any “unusual activity” being detected, it said. South Korea’s military suspected that the North Korean soldiers had not intentionally crossed the line during initially unidentified work within the demilitarized zone. The top command post emphasized, however, that the movements of the other side were being closely monitored. As the national news agency Yonhap reported, citing the General Staff, around 20 North Korean soldiers had crossed the border line. Incidents keep occurring on the sea and land border, and both countries have been at war under international law since the Korean War (1950-53). Recently, tensions between the two sides have increased significantly again.
