According to their own statements, the South Korean army responded with warning shots when North Korean soldiers crossed the border again. “Several North Korean soldiers working on the central front line within the demilitarized zone crossed the military demarcation line,” the South Korean General Staff said on Friday. “After warning messages and warning shots, the North Korean soldiers withdrew to the North.”
The crossing therefore took place on Thursday morning (local time). According to South Korean military information, this was the third border crossing by soldiers from the North into South Korea within two weeks.
The demilitarized zone separates both states
North and South Korea have been formally at war since the end of the Korean War. The two countries are separated by a demilitarized zone about four kilometers wide. The demarcation line runs in the middle of this strip full of mines.
Putin and Kim are getting closer
Relations between the two countries are currently at a low point. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday after a visit to Pyongyang that he would not rule out arms sales to North Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had announced that he would expand weapons development, including tactical nuclear weapons. In response, South Korea and the United States have increased their defense cooperation.
