[QUOTE][QUOTE][IMG]http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/4613460-3x2-940x627.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]South and North Korean boats have exchanged naval fire after a patrol boat from the North crossed the disputed sea border, a South Korean defence official said.

The defence ministry said the South's patrol boat had initially fired a warning shot after the North Korean vessel penetrated half a nautical mile inside the South's territorial waters.

Instead of retreating immediately, the North patrol boat opened fire, so "our side fired back," a ministry spokesman said, adding there was "no damage" sustained by the South Korean vessel.

[B]Although the incident went beyond warning shots, the spokesman indicated that neither side had made a concerted effort to hit the other.[/B]

damn it you beat me too it

but back on topic, wasn't there a government delegation from North Korea that went to Incheon a few days ago? How could they have allowed such escalation when they were already considering higher-level talks between the two?

[QUOTE]South and North Korean patrol boats briefly exchanged fire on Tuesday after a North Korean naval vessel violated the western maritime border, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

The clash came three days after a high-powered North Korean delegation made a rare visit to South Korea and agreed to hold another round of high-level dialogue in the near future, raising hopes for a thaw in inter-Korean relations.

The exchange of fire took place at around 9:50 a.m. in waters near Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea, after a North Korean patrol boat crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL) into the South's waters, the JCS said in a statement.[/QUOTE]
