ROK Soldier Accidentally Fired Machine Gun Rounds into the DMZ
Fortunately this did not lead to a bigger incident:
A South Korean soldier has mistakenly fired a machine gun during training near the border with North Korea, and the military has immediately informed North Korea that the shooting was not intentional, military officials said Sunday.
The South Korean military said four live rounds were fired from the machine gun during a training session by an Army unit along the inter-Korean border in the eastern province of Gangwon at 6:27 p.m. on Saturday.
All of the bullets landed in the southern side of the Military Demarcation Line and no damage was reported. No firings were planned for the training.
The military unit immediately informed North Korea via broadcasting on several occasions that the firings were not intentional and stepped up emergency readiness posture, the officials said.

This supposedly went on all the time back in my day, mid 80’s. I found out first hand flying by a non-hot ROK small arms range on south bank of the Imjin with a long burst of tracer right across our 12 o’clock. Gave that spot a wide bearth rest of my tour and the next tour too.
