North koreans cross into dmz

South Korea’s military has recently fired warning shots towards armed North Korean soldiers following their DMZ crossing at about 17:00pm (local time). The soldiers returned to North Korea following the warning shots.

In June of 2024, North Korean troops violated the DMZ border three times – each resulting in warning shots being fired. The incidents occurred near the same time that the balloon launched, and propaganda broadcasts were being conducted. It was reported by observers that the North Korean soldiers might have accidentally crossed the border while adding anti-tank barriers, planting mines or engaging in other works to boost border defenses.

“The 248-kilometer (155-mile) -long, 4-kilometer (2.5-mile) -wide DMZ is one of the world’s most heavily armed borders. An estimated 2 million mines are peppered inside and near the border, which is also guarded by barbed wire fences, tank traps and combat troops on both sides” (MSN)
