The maritime buffer zone was established in the West Sea and East Sea areas along the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in 2018 under the September 19 Inter-Korean Military Agreement to prevent maritime armed conflicts. Conducting artillery firing or maritime maneuvering exercises in the maritime buffer zone constitutes a violation of the military agreement.
