South Korean soldiers fired warning shots after North Korean troops crossed the border and then retreated, in the third such incident this month on the heavily armed peninsula.
Several North Koreans working within the Demilitarized Zone buffer that separates the two countries crossed into South Korea’s territory on Thursday and retreated after being warned verbally, which was followed by the warning shots, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a message sent to reporters Friday.
