(LEAD) Two Koreas' border guards exchange fire
SEOUL, Aug. 6 (Yonhap) -- Border guards of South and North Korea briefly exchanged fire Monday but there were no South Korean casualties, the office of Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
The firefight took place at about 1:30 p.m. near Inje, 165 kilometers northeast of Seoul, on the eastern portion of the 248-kilometer Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas, a spokesman for the JCS said.
North Korean soldiers started the shootout by firing what appeared to be tens of machine gun rounds, and South Korean soldiers immediately fired back 10 rounds, according to the spokesman.
