The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff said its troops returned fire after the North shot at an observation post in the Demilitarized Zone, the divided peninsula's fortified frontier. The firing -- the last such incident was in November 2001 -- occurred as the United States and China sought to coax North Korea back into talks."
