North and South Korea Exchange Gunfire Across Demilitarized Zone

Gunshots fired from North Korea struck a guard post in South Korea on Sunday inside the Demilitarized Zone separating the two countries, and South Korean soldiers fired back, the South’s Yonhap news agency reported.

There were no injuries reported, Yonhap quoted South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff as saying.

The gunfire was traded two days after the North’s leader, Kim Jong-un, reappeared in public after three weeks of absence and rumors that he was in grave danger after heart surgery.
