South Korea fires warning shots after new border incursion

South Korea fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the heavily fortified border, marking the third such incursion this month. North Korea has been reinforcing its border, leading to accidental casualties among its troops. Tensions between the two Koreas are high, with North Korea hosting Russian leader Putin and signing a mutual defense agreement. Additionally, a “balloon war” continues, with activists in South Korea sending propaganda balloons northward, prompting retaliatory actions from North Korea. AFP
