Military officials in Seoul initially suggested the object they attacked on Tuesday was a drone being piloted by their communist neighbours.
They later said it was actually balloons carrying propaganda leaflets.
But North Korea has now claimed the South was "caught by mental derangement" and "confrontation hysteria", unleashing its storm of bullets at an innocent "flock of birds flying in the sky".
The Demilitarized Zone is a heavily mined and fortified strip of land - with rival troops often metres apart - that runs along the countries' 160-mile border.
The North's news agency, KCNA, described it as "the most acute hotspot where huge troops of both sides constantly level their guns at each other"
