Korea-Konflikt: Nordkorea verletzt Demarkationslinie zu Südkorea
Die beiden koreanischen Staaten befinden sich im Grunde seit 1953 im Krieg. Immer wieder kommt es zu Grenzübertritten. Südkorea hat darauf nun mit Warnschüssen reagiert.
Seoul. South Korean military fired warning shots last week after North Korean soldiers violated the military demarcation line separating the two nations, according to a confidential insider. Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday, citing the source. Several North Korean soldiers reportedly crossed the demarcation line in the eastern portion of the demilitarized zone, marking the first such violation by North Korean military this year.
The soldiers were likely on patrol when they crossed the line. No unusual activities were reported after their return, the report added. In 2021, North Korean troops breached the line 17 times. A statement from North Korea's embassy in Singapore was not available at the time. Technically, the two Korean states remain in a state of war, as their 1950-1953 conflict concluded with an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
