South Korea shot warning shots on the border of the northern troops crossing the border

South Korea confirmed that it had fired warning shots earlier in the week of North Korean soldiers, who briefly crossed the heavily attached border between the two countries.

The North Korean state media called the “deliberate provocation” footage, and Pyongyang accused Seoul of risking “uncontrollable” tension.

The incident was publicly announced as new South Korea President Lee Jay Mun went to Seoul on Saturday to visit Tokyo and Washington.

Pyongyang has raised Ante in recent weeks, with leader Kim Jong -un’s sister rejecting efforts to reconcile by Lee’s government.

The incident took place amid North Korea’s continuing work last year to permanently seal its border with the South.

A strip of land called a demilitarized zone (DMZ) separates north and south, with penetrations often increasing tensionS The DMZ border is not enclosed and the signs are darkened by dense vegetation.

Later, the soldiers moved back north of the line, JCS added.

The North Korean Army Gen Ko Jong Chol said Seoul’s military used a machine gun to launch more than 10 warning shots to their soldiers, according to state media.

“This is a very serious prelude that would inevitably lead to the situation in the southern border area, where a huge number of forces are in confrontation with each other to the uncontrolled phase,” the state media said.

Pyongyang is rejected Seoul despite June Lee’s Election Victory, who was a campaign to improve intercorean ties.

South Korea The military said later that month that she has stopped her propaganda broadcasts of speakers across the border to North Korea, as part of the candidacy for “restoration of confidence” between the two countries.

Pyongyang believes that the speaker propaganda radiates an act of war and threatens to blow them in the past.

The two Koreas were separated from the end of the Korean War in 1953.

They did not sign a peace treaty, so they still remained at war, even though years have passed since the other ones have been attacked on both sides.
