Stay up to date on the developing stories making headlines.SEOUL, South Korea -- North and South Korean troops exchanged fire along their tense border on Sunday, the South’s military said, the first such incident since the rivals took unprecedented steps to lower front-line animosities in late 2018.
A preliminary South Korean analysis showed that North Korea’s firing wasn’t 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. The exchange of fire came a day after North Korea broadcast video of its leader, Kim Jong Un, reappearing in public after a 20-day absence amid intense speculation about his health.
The Korean Peninsula remains split along the 248-kilometer -long, 4-kilometer -wide border called the Demilitarized Zone. It was originally created as a buffer after the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. But unlike its name, an estimated 2 million mines are peppered inside and near the DMZ, which is also guarded by barbed wire fences, tank traps and combat troops on both sides.

The war mongering Democrats have their bought and paid for news media to lie to get us back in to the Democrat sponsored Korean War. The matter has been settled as accidental. Jeez! Such an obvious lie! Only a Trump hater would believe it.
Pretty rad that our president doesn’t help our real allies. Pity of America
When Pompeo says something I prefer to believe opposite
China stopping flights to other parts of china but allows flights to continue to every where else which caused a outbreak of covid19. There are North Koreans working in labs inside china that act on their own to attack other countries with covid19! I worked in china and met them!
Most incompetent Sec.of State.
So when NK invades SK, we are not going to do anything.
NoFascistLies
accidental?
Too bad he has no credibility
I believe Pompeo just called both N. and S. Korea's militaries incompetent, ill trained, numb sculls who can't even hold their guns properly. N. and S. Korea will not be very pleased. Remember, nothing bring people closer together faster than a mutual enemy
There are no accidents in politics, just ask Trump.
Remember when Trump saluted a North Korean General? I do!
Impeach Pompeo for the complete failure that he is.
Although South Korea is arrogant, it is not despicable. In other words, Taiwan is arrogant and contemptible.
Right.... accidental firings....on one of the most guarded borders on the planet. I'm sure they put people there prone to 'accidentally' firing their weapons.
No loss of life makes the shots fired ok? Loser
Lets hope so.
