SEOUL – South Korean troops fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the border this week, Seoul’s military said Tuesday, with tensions high over Pyongyang’s barrage of trash-carrying balloons and the South’s retaliatory loudspeaker campaign.
“Some North Korean soldiers working within the DMZ on the central front briefly crossed the Military Demarcation Line,” the JCS said in a statement, referring to the line of control between the two Koreas. “There was no road, and the were moving through the bushes, and we were observing even before they got close to the MDL.
In response, the South Korean government has suspended a 2018 tension-reducing military deal and restarted loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts along the border, infuriating the North, which warned Seoul was creating “a new crisis”. The incursion of the North Korean soldiers could be a “small provocation” to test the waters ahead of a bigger move, Ahn Chan-il, a defector-turned-researcher who runs the World Institute for North Korea Studies, told AFP.
