Officials in Seoul say troops in North Korea fired multiple rounds into a South Korean guarded area, and that South Korea fired two rounds back into the fortified zone in retaliation after issuing a broadcast warning.
South Korean officials said they suffered no casualties.
The skirmish took place one day after North Korean supreme leader Kim Jon Un emerged from a lengthy absence from the public eye, in which many thought he was either gravely ill, or even dead.
Kim was photographed at a ribbon cutting for a fertilizer plant on Friday, and the U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday tweeted, “I, for one, am glad to see he is back, and well!”
This is a developing story, and more details will publish when they become available.
