Seoul Military Conducts 'Counter-Fire' Following North Korea's Road Destruction

South Korea's military said it conducted "counter-fire" operations Tuesday near the heavily fortified border with the North after Pyongyang's military blew up sections of roads linking the two countries.

After North Korea "conducted an explosive operation aimed at blocking the connection roads", Seoul's military "conducted counter-fire in areas south of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL)," the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, referring to the border that bisects the peninsula.
