LIVE: South Korea Fires Warning Shots After North Korea's Soldiers Cross Border | Kim Jong | CNBC TV18
PAJU, SOUTH KOREA - View of border towns in North Korea, seen from Paju in South Korea, as South Korean military confirmed that they had fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers crossed the Military Demarcation Line near the border and then moved back after the warning shots on early Tuesday (June 18). The military also said there was a landmine explosion inuring some North Korean soldiers recently.
North Korea’s military has suffered “multiple casualties” after landmines exploded in the heavily armed border that separates the country from South Korea, local media reported on Tuesday.
The explosions in the demilitarised zone (DMZ) were reported just hours before the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, was due to visit the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, for the first time since 2000.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency referred to “casualties” caused by landmine explosions, while the NK News website quoted the military as saying several soldiers had been “maimed or killed”.
On Tuesday, an estimated 20 to 30 North Korean soldiers carrying tools crossed the Military Demarcation Line dividing the two countries on Tuesday morning, Yonhap said, citing the JCS.
The soldiers left after forces in the South fired warning shots and broadcast warnings via loudspeakers set up along the border, the JCS said, adding that the brief incursion appeared to have been accidental.
The incidents come at a time of rising tensions between Pyongyang and Seoul.
In recent weeks, the North has sent more than 1,000 balloons laden with rubbish to the South, where activists reciprocated with those containing anti-North Korean leaflets and flash drives loaded with K-pop and TV dramas.
