Warning shots as DPRK soldiers cross border

The Republic of Korea's military said on Tuesday it fired warning shots when about 10 soldiers of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea briefly crossed the demarcation line. The military "conducted a warning broadcast and fired warning shots", and the DPRK soldiers moved north, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. "Our military is closely monitoring the movements of the DPRK soldiers and taking necessary measures," it said. Some of the DPRK soldiers were armed, according to the ROK military.
