South Korea's military fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers crossed the military demarcation line, according to Yonhap news agency. The incident, reported on Sunday, occurred in the eastern area of the demilitarized zone, marking the first MDL violation by North Korea this year. Multiple North Korean soldiers were involved in the crossing, likely while they were patrolling the area.
No other unusual activity was reported following their return, Yonhap added. North Korea has fired several missiles, but the North Korean embassy in Singapore did not comment on the matter. In 2022, North Korean troops violated the MDL 17 times, Yonhap reported. The two Koreas remain technically at war, having ended their 1950-53 conflict with an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
