Yesterday (3rd), at 7:41 in the morning, the Korean military guard post in the Demilitarized Zone in Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do, GP workers heard a gunshot.

It is a GP that is about 1.5km from the North Korean military guard post beyond the military demarcation line.

As a result, four bullets were found on the outer wall of the guard post.

Our military fired a response warning twice, over 10 shots.

There was no special damage, but the military sent a traditional gate to North Korea to request a North Korean explanation.

Due to the timing characteristic of Kim Jong-un's return the next day, the military focused on analyzing North Korea's intentions.

The point that our GP did not meet the general provocation situation at a higher elevation, and the fog was so bad that it was impossible to aim at the North GP due to the thick fog at the time of the shooting.

Also, it occurred during the time when the North Korean army inspected firearms after the regular duty shift, and the farming activities near the North Korean posts before and after the shooting were as usual.

Still, he pointed out that the 9/19 military agreement to stop the hostilities was in violation.

Military authorities plan to make comprehensive judgments on North Korea's intentions after further confirmation.
