North Korea has threatened to fire at the lighting equipment used by South Korean and American troops inside the demilitarized zone.

The North accused the US and South Korean soldiers of deliberate provocations by aiming their flood lights at North Korean guards on Friday evening.

The KPA released a statement claiming that the actions have threatened the safety of North Korean troops and disrupted their operations.

‘Floodlight directed at the KPA side at random is taken as an intolerable means of provocation and it will be the target of merciless pinpoint shots,’ the KPA’s chief security officers at Panmunjom said in the statement, carried by the North’s state media.

‘The true aim sought by the provocateurs through their recent act is to seriously get on the nerves of the KPA soldiers, lead them to take due countermeasures and label them as provocation,’ it said.

Under the Korean War armistice, the two sides are barred from carrying out any hostile acts within or across the 2.5-mile wide demilitarized zone.
