This re DMZ on LGF:

SEOUL, South Korea — Soldiers from North Korea and South Korea exchanged fire along their border late Monday, but no one was hurt, a South Korean military official said Tuesday.

The incident happened shortly before sunset when North Korean soldiers fired two bullets toward a South Korean guard post in the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone, said Maj. Kim Tae-hoon of the Joint Chiefs of Staff office.

South Korean soldiers immediately fired back six rounds, Kim said.

He said South Korea doesn’t know what prompted the North troops to open fire and the secretive communist country hasn’t said anything to the South about it.

Thanks for the info.

Could be some NK got a wild hair, could be NK et al is looking for an excuse.

Heads up, all, the next 24 to 72 hours look to be the highest risk for a widening conflict that we have seen in this crisis to date.
