Rounds were fired at a guardhouse on South Korea&#8217;s side. South Korean troops responded with warning fire. No casualties were reported. North Korean farming activity continued on the North Korean side. The North Korean military continued its normal activities.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From the Military Times:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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 border zone. South Korea responded with a total of 20 rounds of warning shots on two occasions before issuing a warning broadcast, it said.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea suffered no casualties, the military said. Defense officials said it\u2019s also unlikely that North Korea had any casualties, since the South Korean warning shots were fired at uninhibited North Korean territory. The North\u2019s official Korean Central News Agency, or KCNA, did not immediately report about the incident.<\/p>\n<p>A preliminary South Korean analysis showed that North Korea\u2019s firing wasn\u2019t likely a calculated provocation, though Seoul will continue examining whether there was any motivation for the action, a South Korean defense official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department rules.<\/p>\n<p>Farming activities around the North Korean area where the firing occurred continued throughout Sunday and North Korea\u2019s military didn\u2019t display any other suspicious activities after the gunfire, the official said. He said there was a thick fog in the area at the time of the incident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Military Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2020\/05\/03\/north-and-south-korean-troops-exchange-fire-along-border\/\">article<\/a> covers this incident, as well as other events related to North Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An incident happened on the Korean border between North and South Korean troops.
