North Korea fired nine artillery rounds last month for “September 19 violation”
Military calls for immediate arrest … No proportional military response
The army responds by firing three missiles north of the NLL
[앵커]
The military, which has repeatedly warned whenever North Korea provokes provocations, fired missiles north of the NLL after North Korea fired a missile south of the NLL for the first time since the division.
As the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement banning all hostile acts collapses one by one, rumors of violation of the agreement are expected to grow.

North Korea fired nine artillery rounds in the buffer zone in the eastern and western seas last month.
Each time, our military has urged us to stop it immediately, saying it was a violation of the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement.
However, it did not take a military response on a scale proportional to North Korea’s provocations.
However, when North Korea launched an unprecedented provocation of launching a ballistic missile south of the Northern Limit Line in the East Sea, the South Korean military eventually responded by firing three precision air-to-ground missiles north of the NLL. in the Eastern Sea.
When it was pointed out that both North and South Korea had in fact violated some of the military agreements of 19 September to completely suspend all hostile acts, a military official said it was inappropriate to ask whether an agreement had been reached on the corresponding countermeasures in terms of self-defense.
It is being interpreted as a measure that reflects the current government’s position that the September 19 military deal that we just protect makes no sense.

Following the GP shootings in the DMZ in 2020, the September 19 military deals in the eastern and western seas collapsed one by one, increasing the possibility that the intensity of North Korean provocations will increase.
In addition to ground provocations such as past DMZ mine provocations, the possibility of direct provocations such as local provocations in the West Sea area is also discussed.

As the September 19 military deal becomes virtually unpopular, rumors raised by some to cancel the deal are expected to gradually gain strength.
