South Korea North Korea Dispute (symbolic picture)
Seoul: The tension between South Korea and North Korea is well known. North Korea has been constantly doing such activities which have been a cause of trouble for South Korea. Recently, North Korea dropped balloons filled with garbage in South Korea, after which the tension between the two countries has increased. Now the news is coming that South Korean soldiers have fired bullets on North Korean soldiers. According to the information, North Korean soldiers crossed the land border earlier this week, after which firing was done from South Korea.
Will the matter escalate?
The South Korean army gave information about the firing on the border on Tuesday. Bloodshed and violent clashes often occur between the two countries. This incident happened on Sunday amid growing tensions between the two Korean countries. Observers say that this incident will not become a big issue because South Korea believes that North Korean soldiers did not deliberately intrude into the border nor did North Korea fire in response.
North Korean soldiers return
South Korea’s Joint Chief of Staff said that at 12:30 pm on Sunday, some North Korean soldiers crossed the military border separating the two countries and entered its territory. He said that these North Korean soldiers were carrying construction equipment while some soldiers also had weapons. However, after the South Korean army fired warning shots, they immediately returned to their territory. He said that North Korea did not carry out any other suspicious activities.
This information came out
Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesman Lee Sung-joon told reporters that South Korea’s military assessed that the North Korean troops did not appear to have crossed the border intentionally because the scene is a wooded area and there were no clearly visible signs of a military demarcation line. Lee did not provide further details, but South Korean media reports said about 20 to 30 North Korean soldiers had crossed about 50 meters into South Korean territory and may have lost their way. Most of the soldiers were carrying hoes and other construction equipment, according to the reports. (AP)
