SEOUL, South Korea — North and South Koreantroops exchanged fire along their tense border on Sunday, the South’s military said, blaming North Korean soldiers for targeting a guard post.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul said in a statement that North Korean troops fired several bullets at a South Korean guard post inside the heavily fortified border. South Korea fired two rounds in response after issuing a warning broadcast, it said.

South Korea suffered no casualties, the military said. It's unknown whether North Korea had any casualties. The North's official Korean Central News Agency hasn't reported about the incident.

I pray you’re right. These things do happen from time to time on the DMZ. But every time it does the potential for matters to escalate out of control is very real.

We've got 25k troops in SK. They're not there to keep the NKs from crossing the DMZ. They're there to keep the SKs from rolling north.

Sounds like China told NK to start some shite and a SK sniper ended it

Probably a nothingburger BUT unless the little fricker has been confirmed alive, it could be a sign of some instability. Maybe the DPRK guards saw some SoKo border guard wanker jerking off to a picture of Kim Yo-Jong and decided to spice things up.

Or it could be the exact opposite and rocket man is still alive and ordered a fence line shooting as a power move to let South Korea he is still in control.

Anyone that's been there knows that if NK is coming it isn't starting with guards at the DMZ


Spent a significant amount of time in SK, very close to NK. The ROK Marines and NK troops both know that NK can’t really do shite. Both sides know that NK doesn’t have the military might they once did and the DMZ is a big circle jerk.

Always thought that actual soldiers was never the concern.

It was the number of artillery pieces aimed at Seoul.

Hopefully not a big deal. They do have occasional skirmishes.

This is the main concern IF you think it may play out. My take, North Korea would be leveled if this occured. It is simply a deterrent to keep SK from invading. This current incident is simply for "news" dissemination.

That could start to be less of a deterrent than in the past. Anti-artillery systems have gotten pretty sophisticated and can destroy some shells before they reach their intended targets.
