June 11 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The South Korean Army has assured this Tuesday that last Sunday it fired warning shots against a group of North Korean soldiers who had crossed the military demarcation line that separates both parts of the Demilitarized Zone, after which they immediately returned to its territory, and which coincided with the day on which Seoul resumed its propaganda broadcasts across the border by installing large loudspeakers.

“At 12:30 noon on the 9th, some North Korean troops working in the Demilitarized Zone on the central front crossed the military demarcation line and headed north after warning shots from our military,” he said. expressed by the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff during a press conference, according to the Yonhap news agency.

In that sense, he has expressed that “there were no unusual movements” except for the one mentioned and that his hypotheses about what happened indicate that they were lost while they were working in the area.

“More than ten North Korean soldiers crossed the Military Demarcation Line within 50 meters in a short period of time, and when warning shots were fired, they immediately retreated north of the Military Demarcation Line. It is presumed that the North Korean soldiers who were working with tools like pickaxes, lost their way and crossed the Military Demarcation Line,” he detailed.
