TL;DR Summary

North Korea fired over 60 artillery rounds near a disputed maritime border with South Korea, following a previous day's barrage of over 200 rounds into a buffer zone established in 2018. South Korean residents in the affected islands were ordered into shelters, and the South Korean military has pledged to take measures to safeguard the nation, responding to the initial fire with rounds into the sea. This escalation comes amid deteriorating relations and increased military activities by North Korea, including missile tests and the enshrinement of its nuclear status in its constitution.
