N. Korea orders new artillery firings over South's drills

  • By KIM TONG-HYUNG - Associated Press

North Korea’s military says it has ordered frontline units to conduct artillery firings into the sea for the second consecutive day in a tit-for-tat response to South Korean live-fire drills in an inland border region. The statement by the North Korean People’s Army’s General Staff on Tuesday came a day after the North fired about 130 artillery rounds into waters near its western and eastern sea boundaries with South Korea. It's the latest military action raising tensions between the rivals. An unidentified North Korean military spokesperson said the planned artillery firings Tuesday were meant as a warning to the South after the North detected signs of South Korean artillery exercises in the border region.
