North Korea fires artillery shells towards South's border island
5th January 2024, 06:19 EST

North Korea has fired more than 200 rounds of artillery shells off its west coast, towards the South's Yeonpyeong island, Seoul's military has said.

South Korea ordered civilians to seek shelter on the island before holding live fire drills of its own.

The South called it a "provocative act", but the North denied the islands were in danger from its firing drills.

In 2010, North Korean artillery fired scores of times on Yeonpyeong island, killing four people.

The artillery shells fired on Friday, between 09:00 to 11:00 local time (00:00 to 02:00 GMT) did not enter South Korean territory as they all landed in the buffer zone between the two countries.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's good timing for N. Korea.  Kim Dung Un knows as long as Biden is POTUS, there is little chance the US will get involved. :nono:
