South Korea says that around 10 North Korean troops have crossed their border for fighting

Seoul, South Korea -South Korea soldiers fired warning shots after the North Korean soldiers crossed the tight rivals on Tuesday, South Korean officials announced.

The Army of South Korea declared in a press release that around 10 North KoreaN soldiers returned to the north after South Korea made warning shows and fired on custody. He said that the North Korean soldiers violated the military demarcation line in the eastern section of the border at 5 p.m.

Some of the North Korean troops were armed and wore bullet-proof vests, said the South, according to the French AFP press agency.

The Army of South Korea said that it closely monitored North Korean activities.

Confrontations of blood and violent sometimes occurred on the strongly fortified border of Koreas, called the demilitarized area. But when North Korean troops briefly violated the border in June of last yearHe did not degenerate into a major source of tensions when South Korean officials have evaluated that soldiers did not deliberately engage the intrusion of borders.

The reason for Tuesday’s border crossing by North Korean soldiers was not immediately clear.

The 155 miles long and 2.5 miles wide DMZ is the most armed border in the world. It is estimated that 2 million mines are dotted inside and near the border, which is also kept by fences of barbed wire, tank traps and combat troops on both sides. It was a legacy of the Korean War of 1950-1953, which ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

The animosities between Koreas are now high while the North Korean leader Kim Jong is continuing to show off his military nuclear capacities and align with Russia on President Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine. Kim also ignores Seoul and Washington calls to resume denuclearization negotiations.

Since its inauguration of January 20, President Trump said he would contact Kim again to relaunch diplomacy. North Korea has not responded to Mr. Trump’s remarks and said that American hostilities have been deepened since its inauguration.

South Korea, on the other hand, experiences a leadership vacuum after the Eviction of President Yoon Suk Yeol last week on his unhappy Taxation of martial law.
