The conflict ended in a cease-fire, not a peace treaty, meaning that the two Koreas are still technically at war. North Korea's testing of a nuclear weapon last year raised tension in the region, but six-party disarmament talks that include the United States, Russia, China, Japan and the two Koreas are ongoing

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North and South Korean soldiers briefly exchanged gunfire along their border Monday, the office of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
North Korean soldiers fired several shots toward a South Korean guard post in the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone that divides the Korean Peninsula. South Korean soldiers immediately returned fire, a statement said.
No South Korean soldiers were hurt. It was unclear if anyone was hurt on the northern side and comment there was not immediately available.
The U.N. Military Armistice Commission, which supervises the agreement that ended the 1950-53 Korean War, said in a statement it would investigate.
