ROK Soldiers Fire Warning Shots at North Korean Soldiers Who Crossed the MDL

It sure seems like the North Korean military makes a lot of “mistakes” crossing the MDL:

This file photo, provided by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on March 27, 2025, shows North Korean troops repairing fences at the eastern border. 

South Korea’s military said Tuesday it fired warning shots at a group of North Korean soldiers who briefly crossed the military demarcation line (MDL) inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas. 

About 10 armed North Korean soldiers returned to the North after the South Korean military aired warning broadcasts and fired warning shots in an eastern front-line area at around 5 p.m., according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

The JCS said South Korea’s military is “closely monitoring the movement of the North Korean military and taking necessary measures in accordance with the operational procedures.” 

The JCS said it suspects the North Korean soldiers’ border crossing occurred accidentally while they were conducting a regular patrol.

Yes, accidental mistakes can happen up there but the timing makes me suspect otherwise.
