SEOUL – Dozens of North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the heavily fortified border with the South on Tuesday and retreated after warning shots were fired, Seoul’s military said, adding landmine explosions had injured Pyongyang’s troops in the area.
“Dozens of North Korean troops crossed the Military Demarcation Line today… retreated northwards after warning shots” were fired, a JCS official said. Even so, the North’s military “appear to be recklessly pressing ahead with the operations,” the official said. “North Korea’s activities seem to be a measure to strengthen internal control, such as blocking North Korean troops and North Koreans from defecting to the South,” the JCS official said.
On June 9, Seoul said that North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the line that separates the two militaries — saying it happened in an overgrown area of the heavily fortified border area and was likely accidental.
