SEOUL: North and South Korean naval patrol boats briefly exchanged fire on Tuesday (Oct 7) near their disputed Yellow Sea border which has been the site of numerous clashes in the past, the South's defence ministry said.
The incident came as hopes had been raised of a constructive reboot in strained inter-Korean relations following the surprise visit of a top-ranking North Korean delegation to the South just three days before. 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.

sooner or later, the North Koreans always get frisky when we bomb Muslims. It’s as though they feel left out.

What is going on up there?
Is the Army and Navy not agreeing? Is whatever is happening not yet complete?

I can’t wrap my brain around this one. They sent emissaries over the weekend to talk about improving relations, and today they do this. I wonder who’s REALLY running the show in NK?

One half nautical mile, and shots get fired. They guard their SEA borders better than we guard our LAND borders. What’s with THAT??? /s ;)

Dang...It looks like the talks didn’t go well when the NORKS recently met with the South. /sarc

Perhaps we are messing with their main customers when we bomb ISIS.

Well, one is a banana republic run by a tin-horned commie dictator who doesn’t care what happens to the average citizen.Am I correct in assuming you are referring to the Obungler? :-)

I think the little whack job got a lot of the wrong kind of his daddy’s love when he was a little dictator in waiting.
think about it. otherwise, why would daddy have named his son sex noises?

It seems like nk always does this good cop/bad cop thing when negotiating.
