South Korean military forces fired warning shots after a group of North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the Military Demarcation Line into South Korea on Sunday. The incursion occurred within the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), specifically at the 38th Parallel on the central front. According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the North Korean soldiers quickly retreated back to their side of the border following the warning shots. This incident, reported by Yonhap, comes amid heightened tensions between the two Koreas, marked by the exchange of trash-filled balloons and loudspeaker messages.
