 North Korea displayed its fury at Seoul Tuesday in spectacular style, blowing up two key road crossing points at opposite ends of the Demilitarized Zone, the flashpoint militarized frontier that divides the two Koreas.

No casualties or damages were reported in South Korea, but the explosions prompted warning shots from South Korean troops, Seoul’s Ministry of National Defense said in a statement.

A South Korean government spokesperson said a machine gun was fired into the ground south of the Military Demarcation Line — the actual frontier running through the center of the 2.48-mile-wide DMZ.
