"North Korea Launches 60 Artillery Rounds Near Maritime Boundary, Alarms South Korea"

North Korea fired over 60 artillery rounds near Yeonpyeong Island, escalating tensions a day after conducting live-fire drills in the same contested maritime border area. South Korean residents were evacuated to shelters, and Seoul's military issued a strong warning, urging North Korea to stop such actions. This follows the breakdown of a 2018 tension-reducing deal and comes amid heightened inter-Korean tensions, with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un calling for a military buildup and the country's nuclear status being enshrined in its constitution.

"Escalating Tensions: North Korea's Artillery Fire and Nuclear Threats Prompt South Korea-US Military Vigilance"

North Korea fired over 200 artillery rounds into a maritime buffer zone near South Korean islands, escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The rounds fell north of the Northern Limit Line without causing harm, but the act was condemned by South Korea as provocative. In response, South Korea planned its own military exercise and advised residents to take shelter. This incident follows the deterioration of inter-Korean relations and the scrapping of a military agreement aimed at reducing hostilities. The situation is being monitored in coordination with the US, amidst North Korea's recent rejection of reconciliation with the South and threats of serious action if confronted militarily.
