North Korea artillery fires at South Korean navy ship, and misses
By JACK KIM and JU-MIN PARK, ReutersMay 22, 2014 7:06pm
SEOUL - North Korean artillery fired at least one shot which landed near a South Korean navy patrol ship south of the two sides' disputed maritime border on Thursday, but it did not hit the vessel, a military official in Seoul said.
The official added that South Korean artillery fired at a North Korean naval vessel in response.
Residents of the Yeonpyeong island, which lies just south of the disputed sea border, were evacuated to bomb shelters, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Shelling by North Korean artillery killed four people on the island in 2010.
There was no further firing from the North following the incident soon after 6 p.m. local time (0900 GMT), the official said.
North Korea has refused to recognise the so-called Northern Limit Line that was drawn up at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War and has frequently challenged it with intrusions of ships or more recently by firing artillery near or across the line.
Earlier on Thursday, North Korea had issued its latest threat to "blow up" any South Korean warships, in an angry response to an incident earlier in the week when the South fired warning shots at the North's patrol boats that breached the line.
The North accused South of "a grave provocation" at the time and said its vessels were merely trying to contain Chinese fishing boats that were in the area illegally.
Also, earlier on Thursday, the South's Defence Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said North Korea had no business interfering in operations of South Korean naval vessels south of the Northern Limit Line.
In March, the North fired more than 500 rounds of artillery in an exercise, but 100 rounds landed south of the border, prompting the South to fire more than 300 shots back.
The Northern Limit Line, a maritime border that wraps itself around a part of the North's coastline, has been the scene of frequent clashes.
Earlier in 2010, a South Korean naval vessel was sunk close to the line by what an international commission said was a North Korean torpedo, although the North denies involvement.
The two sides are still technically at war as the conflict ended in a mere truce, not a treaty

North Korea fires artillery near South Korean warship
The officer said North Korea fired artillery towards a naval ship engaged in a routine patrol mission near the countries' disputed maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea. The South Korean ship was not hit.
The officer could not confirm a report from Yonhap news agency that South Korea's military returned fire at waters near a North Korean warship. The South Korean television network YTN said two rounds of artillery shells were fired at the North, but other details were unknown, including whether artillery was fired from sea or land.
YTN reported that the frontline Yeonpyeong island was being evacuated. In 2010, North Korea fired artillery at the island, killing two civilians and two marines.
Both Koreas regularly conduct artillery drills in the disputed waters. North Korea has in recent weeks conducted a string of artillery drills and missile tests, and has unleashed a torrent of racist and sexist rhetoric against the leaders of the US and South Korea.
On Tuesday, South Korean naval ships fired warning shots to repel three North Korean warships that briefly violated the disputed sea boundary. On Wednesday, North Korea's military vowed to retaliate.
North Korean military ships and fishing boats routinely intrude into disputed waters. The Yellow Sea boundary was unilaterally drawn by the US-led UN command at the end of the 1950-53 Korean war.
