South Korea’s military announced Wednesday that it is closely monitoring Pyongyang’s military activity and maintaining a high level of readiness, following reports that North Korean troops crossed the Military Demarcation Line more than 20 times in August.
The information was published by the Chosun Ilbo daily, which cited anonymous military sources. According to them, the number of crossings detected by the South Korean military in August alone exceeded the total recorded throughout all of 2025.
The incursions reportedly took place as North Korea resumed fortification work near the border. This includes laying mines and building fences, measures that are increasing tensions along the Demilitarized Zone.
Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff did not publicly confirm the exact number, locations, or times of the crossings. In a statement, the institution said that the military is applying operational procedures and continuing to strengthen its defense capabilities.
The Military Demarcation Line separates the two Koreas and lies within the Demilitarized Zone, one of the most heavily militarized regions in the world. Seoul’s statement comes amid intensified cooperation between North Korea and Russia and defensive work carried out by Pyongyang near the border.
