South Koreas military has said it fired warning shots after several North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the border, the third such incident this month.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said that North Korean troops working in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas briefly crossed the border into the South on Thursday before returning to their side after the South fired warning shots.

It marked the third border violation by the North this month after similar incidents involving a group of 20 to 30 North Korean soldiers in other areas of the central section of the border on June 9 and June 18, respectively. The JCS earlier said both cases appeared to be unintentional, Yonhap News Agency reported.
