Happens all the time, hardly ever gets reported. I’ve forgotten how many times it happened during my two tours.

Was at Osan and had some friends who would take the bus from Yongsan on a regular basis. Still remember Gen George Livsey on AFRTS telling the North that his "sojers" was ready and if they doubted it, just "c'mon down". I used to look at the radio and tell them to just stay the hell up there until I was gone...

worrisome developments given recent reports lil Kim (not the rapper) is sick or facing an internal coup

estimates always were that the Kims would go out with a bang rather than leave quietly

Lately they do it once a week. I think Norks are escalating it gradually.
