North, South Korea Exchange Coastal Artillery Fire

in Inter-Korean Issues, North Korea

North Korea started the workday with an artillery barrage into the West Sea.

South Korea responded with artillery fire of its own… but not to worry:

South Korea’s presidential Blue House said both sides were firing into the air and there were no casualties, according to Yonhap. It has called a meeting of top national security officials.

Boys will be boys.

According to SBS, the North Korean fire landed on their side of the NLL.

I’m not sure why they even put this posturing in the “news.”
