South Korea’s military said on Tuesday that it had fired warning shots at the weekend after some North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the border.
“Some North Korean soldiers working within the DMZ on the central front briefly crossed the Military Demarcation Line,” the South Korean joint chiefs of staff (JCS) said in a statement.
It was referring to the line of control in the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas.
“After our military issued warning broadcasts and warning shots, they retreated northward,” it said, adding the incident happened June 9.
“Apart from the immediate retreat of the North Korean soldiers following our warning shots, there were no unusual movements observed,” the JCS said, adding the military was closely monitoring troops near the border
