On Tuesday, dozens of North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the heavily fortified border into South Korea but retreated after warning shots were fired. This marks the second such incident in two weeks, amid heightened tensions between the two Koreas. The North has been reinforcing its border, laying more landmines and building anti-tank barriers. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in Seoul believe the crossing was accidental, involving soldiers carrying work tools. Recent landmine explosions have injured multiple North Korean soldiers engaged in these border operations.
