North Korea fires artillery shells to send serious warning to South Korea

Published on

North Korea fired 100 more artillery shells off its west coast on Wednesday, South Korea’s military said, just hours after it launched hundreds of shells into the sea off its east and west coasts in what it called a grave warning to South Korea, according to Reuters.

Pyongyang has angrily reacted to the South Korean and joint military activities, calling them provocations and threatening countermeasures. Seoul says its exercises are regular and defence-oriented.

„Our Army strongly warns the enemy forces to immediately stop the highly irritating provocative act in the frontline areas,” a spokesman for the General Staff of the North’s Korean People’s Army (KPA) said.
