North Korean gunfire hit a Southern guard post on 3 May, prompting Seoul's soldiers to return fire a few minutes later and broadcast warnings.

An exchange of gunfire between North and South Korean forces in the Demilitarized Zone dividing the peninsula was a violation of the armistice agreement, the United Nations Command said Tuesday.

The UNC -- which monitors compliance with the ceasefire -- opened an investigation into the shooting and concluded that"both sides committed Armistice Agreement violations", it said in a statement. The North's military did not offer a"formal response" when the UNC invited it to take part in the investigation, it said, adding that the South's forces provided"full cooperation".
