The military of South Korea said that its soldiers had fired warning shots at North Korean forces who had breached the border between the two nations.
According to South Korea’s military, which is keeping a close eye on its neighbor’s operations, about ten North Korean soldiers broke through the military barrier about 5:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday but returned following warning broadcasts and warning shots.
Since returning to the White House, US President Donald Trump has stated that he will resume his diplomatic attempts with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which he started during his first term.
South Korea claims Pyongyang has dispatched hundreds of troops to Russia to engage in the battle in Ukraine, including North Korean special operations groups.
Pyongyang demonstrated its will to carry on with its weapons development program in January by testing an intermediate-range hypersonic missile.
There have periodically been violent clashes and bloodshed at the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, the heavily guarded border between Korea and the United States.
However, when North Korean forces temporarily crossed the border in June of last year, South Korean authorities determined the invasion was unintentional after seeing the troops were carrying construction equipment.
