North Korea fired 110 artillery rounds at waters near a disputed western sea border with the South on Monday, escalating tensions already raised to a high pitch by aggressive South Korean naval exercises and the North’s seizure of a squidding boat.
About 10 shells landed near the South Korean border island of Byeongryeong, followed by an additional 100 rounds falling near another border island, Yeonpyeong, said a spokesman of the Office of Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul, who insisted on anonymity until there was a formal government announcement.
