North Korea Shells South Korean Island
I was shocked to see a short breaking news summary from the L.A. Times in my inbox that said North Korea shells South Korean island.
North Korea shot dozens of rounds of artillery onto a populated South Korean island near the countries’ disputed western border Tuesday, and South Korean troops returned fire, military officials said.
South Korea’s YTN television said two people were injured, several houses were on fire and that shells were still falling on Yeonpyeong island. Yonhap news agency, quoting a military official, said four soldiers were wounded. The reports couldn’t be immediately verified.
YTN said between 1,200 and 1,300 people live in the island, citing an island resident. TV pictures showed black and white smoke rising from the island.
Oh man, I hope this will not escalate into something worse.
