DPRK military violate border of South Korea, warning fire was opened

By Alimat Aliyeva

The military of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)
violated the demarcation line, prompting South Korean fighters to
open preemptive fire, Azernews reports.

According to the South Korean military, approximately 10 North
Korean soldiers crossed the demarcation line.

After the warning shots were fired, the North Korean soldiers
retreated.

“We are closely monitoring the movements of the North Korean
military and are taking the necessary measures in accordance with
operational procedures,” the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated.

The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which separates North and
South Korea, remains one of the most heavily militarized borders in
the world. Despite its name, it is a zone of high tension and
frequent incidents, often involving military provocations or
breaches like the one reported. The DMZ is also an unintended
wildlife sanctuary, as human activity is restricted, allowing some
rare species to thrive.
