# South Korea fired warning shots after several North Korean soldiers crossed the military demarcation line inside the Demilitarised Zone. The Yonhap news agency says the incident happened during the week in the eastern part of the zone and is the first reported North Korean violation of the demarcation line this year. The soldiers, believed to have been on patrol, returned north after the warning shots. No further unusual activity was reported. The two Koreas remain technically at war, with their conflict between 1950 and 1953 ending in an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
