South Korea’s military confirmed that it fired "warning shots" after a group of North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the border on Tuesday.
The incident, reported by Yonhap news, occurred around 5 p.m. local time (0800 GMT) on the eastern front of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL), which divides the Korean Peninsula.
