SEOUL, South Korea - Soldiers from North and South Korea exchanged fire along their border late Monday but no one is hurt, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

The clash happened just before sunset when North Korean soldiers fired two bullets toward South Korean guard post in the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone and South Korean soldiers immediately fired back six rounds, the top commanders said.

It's obvious the U.S.M.C. were not doing the shooting. :-]

And those two bullets depleted their entire stockpile of rifle ammunition.

The UN will have an emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss South Koreas disproportionate response.

More proof for the South Koreans that we're the ones to be feared and hated.

It's good that the South Korean guards fired back. One ought never to turn one's back on NK and try to run away from them. If they do that, it will double the danger. They face it promptly and without flinching, they reduce the danger by half.

I feel a strongly worded statement in the cards from some Norwegian UN hack.

Can't wait to hear how the South Koreans will blame the Americans for this one.

Yeah, that's one thing I don't miss from working with the 38th parallel boys; them pointing their finger at you and shouting, "It is YOUR responsibility!!"
