☆ North Korea fires 200 artillery shells near Yeonpyeong Island; South reportedly orders evacuation
  + stars: | 2024-01-05 | by ( Lim Hui Jie | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
A shelter for protecting residents from potential North Korean attacks stands on Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea, on Friday, June 26, 2020. South Korea has reportedly ordered civilians on the border island of Yeonpyeong to move to shelters after North Korea fired 200 artillery shells into the sea near the island, local news media said on Friday. Yeonpyeong Island is close to what is known as the "Northern Limit Line," the de facto maritime border that separates the two Koreas. In a major escalation of tensions in November 2010, the island was bombarded by North Korean artillery, killing two South Korean marines and two civilians. North Korea and South Korea are formally still at war, as the Korean War in 1953 ended with an armistice and not a formal peace treaty.

The artillery shells were fired at around 2:59 p.m. from Kumgang county, which lies north of the heavily fortified demilitarized zone, and Jangsan Cape located on the country’s west coast, the military in Seoul said. The artillery firings involved multiple rocket launchers and splashed into the maritime buffer zones north of the Northern Limit Line, a disputed inter-Korean maritime border.
