North and South Korea exchange gunfire along land border, a day after Kim Jong-un’s reappearance

North and South Korea exchanged gunfire along the demilitarised zone (DMZ) that divides them on the morning of May 3, 2020, the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul said in a statement. The confrontation at a South Korean guard post along the DMZ was the latest between the rival Koreas, which technically remain at war. The shots came one day after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ended an almost three-week absence from public life, appearing on state television for a visit to a factory.
