In June last year, North Korean troops violated the border three times, prompting South Korea to fire warning shots. The incidents occurred when the Koreas were embroiled in Cold War-style campaigns like balloon launches and propaganda broadcasts, but they didn’t develop into a major source of tensions.

This was stated in a statement issued by the military authorities in Seoul following the latest incident with Kim Jong-un's regime. On Tuesday, at 5:00 p.m. on the Korean Peninsula, a dozen North Korean soldiers crossed the militarized border into South Korea.
