More or less "all clear" for right now. (1:40 p.m. local)

9 ROK fishing boats had to be evac-ed from the area.

This is the ROK island nearby where the dust-up occured two hours ago:

No need to wake Obozo.

Sweet dreams, imposter!

S. Korean Joint Chief of Staffs said, "A N. Korean patrol boat violated Northern Limit Line at 6.3 miles to the east of Daechung Island, (intruding into S. Korean waters) by 0.7 mile. Our Navy repeatedly sent warning messages, which it ignored and continue to head southward. Our Navy sent a warning message that warning shots will be fired. When it did not relent, they fired warning shots according to rules of engagement. The N. Korea vessel fired directly at our patrol boat, which returned fire according to rules of engagement and repelled the N. Korean vessel. There were no casualties on the S. Korean side, but the N. Korean vessel returned to the North, heavily damaged in billowing smoke.

합참은 이날 "북한 경비정이 서해 대청도 동쪽 6.3마일 지점의 NLL을 0.7마일가량 침범해 우리 해군이 여러차례 경고통신을 했으나 경비정은 이를 무시하고 계속 남하했다"면서 "해군은 북측 경비정에 경고사격을 하겠다는 경고통신까지 했으나 물러나지 않자 교전규칙에 따라 경고사격을 가했다"고 말했다.

이에 북한 경비정은 남측 고속정을 향해 '직접사격'을 가했으며 우리측 고속정은 교전규칙에 의해 '대응사격'을 가해 북측 경비정을 퇴각시켰다고 합참은 설명했다.

합참은 "교전 과정에서 우리 측 사상자는 없었다"고 강조했다.

그러나 북측 함정은 연기가 날 정도로 반파되어 북한으로 되돌아간 것으로 알려졌다.
