UN probe finds both Koreas violated armistice in gunfire exchange
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA UN investigation into a recent exchange of gunfire between the two Koreas has determined that both countries violated the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War, the American-led UN Command says.
The May 3 gunfire exchange was the first shooting inside the Korean Demilitarized Zone in about two and a half years. There were no known casualties on either side.
The investigation rules that North Korea breached the armistice by firing four rounds and South Korea by returning fire, according to the statement. It says the investigation was unable to determine if the North Korean rounds were fired intentionally or by mistake.
