SEOUL (AP) - Soldiers from North Korea and South Korea exchanged gunfire along their border, the office of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday. No one was hurt on the southern side.
North Korean soldiers fired several shots toward a South Korean guard post in the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone that divides the Korean Peninsula, a statement said.
South Korean soldiers immediately returned fire, it said.
It was unclear if anyone was hurt on the northern side and North Korean comment was not immediately available.
