This marks the third time in the past ten days since the 9th that North Korean troops have crossed the MDL. There are observations that the North Korean military is preparing for future provocations.

“Around 20 to 30 North Korean soldiers crossed over to the 20-meter area south of the Military Demarcation Line on the Central Front around 8:30 a.m., but retreated after a warning broadcast and warning shots,” the Republic of Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff (ROK JCS) said. 

“Most of them were carrying work tools such as pickaxes and shovels, and they returned immediately after the warning, so it is considered a ‘simple infringement.’”
