South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the South Korean military bolstered its air surveillance and broadcast a warning to North Korea in response to the object. It provided no other details.

韩国联合参谋本部在一份声明中表示，韩国军方强化了其对空监视，并针对该飞行物发出了警告。但其他细节暂未提供。

South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that South Korea fired about 90 machine gun rounds into the air and toward North Korea.

The Koreas face off across the world's most heavily armed border, and the two sides occasionally clash.

朝鲜半岛正面临着全球最严峻的军事威胁。朝韩两国不时发生武装冲突。

In 2014, they traded machine gun and rifle fire after South Korean activists released anti-North Korean propaganda balloons across the Demilitarized Zone that bisects the Korean Peninsula, but no casualties were reported.

2014年，韩国反朝活动人士在朝鲜半岛的非军事区（该区将朝鲜半岛一分为二）释放反朝宣传气球，双方用机关枪和步枪开火，但并未报告有人员伤亡。
