(Reuters) - North Korea on Tuesday fired dozens of artillery shells at a South Korean island, setting buildings on fire and prompting a return fire by the South, Seoul's military and media reports said.

The North must be desperate. This is SOP for “need basic life support supplies immediately - we’re not kidding.”
I hope at the very least South Korea destroyed where the fire was coming from...
Bank of Korea emergency meeting of senior officials to be held at 0900GMT
Most of their guns/rockets are dug in very deep,,,
In a mountain...
That would make sense. A show of force at a time of national weakness.
Did I hear correctly that they fired on an island belonging to SK?
Wonder when Obama will withdraw our troops.
KCNA: Merciless military attacks to continue if #ROK “enemy dares to invade our sea territory by 0.001 mm.” #DPRK
- probably more bluster, but in light of reports that the NORKs were not happy with the military exercises being conducted in the region . . .
Don’t we have weapons that can go down in mountains?
I hear the wheels in Washington cranking...here comes the “strongly worded letter”...
I think he is uploading new firmware for his teleprompter v.2.034. Could take the better part of a week before an actual meaningful response to our ally.
No where near enough,,,
I have read that Seoul would be gone in an hour,,,
I doubt it will come to that ,,,but,,,
Maybe the folks thought the same thing in 1950...
Thank you for sharing these...be careful out there!
If the US does NOT help its ROK allies....Look for:
EVERYONE to be emboldened to attack allies of NATO/US. OBAMA YOU PIECE OF SHIT WIMP!
You'll see Iran burn off a low yield nuke.
You'll see Iranian Republican Guard in Afghanistan killing NATO and US troops.
You'll see Indonesia and India (foes of China) backing away from SEATO/US and cozying up with China.
You'll see more brushfire wars in Central Africa, esp. Kenya/Congo with more and more AlQueda types proping up.
You'll see Yemen export terrorism into more brazen attacks.
You'll probably see Syria/Lebanon attack Israel with tacit support from other Arab countries. Hell, even Turkey might get involved.
Russia may take the REST of Georgia or other CIS states.
You'll see FARC and other narco-commie forces make strides and gains in South America.
GAWD....the list is endless....our wet paper sack president is AWOL, probably on a cocaine high while our allies are getting SHELLED.....Does it make you feel better that Chewbacca, the mother in law, Biden, Pelosi, Axlerod or Valarie Jarrett are the ones answering the phone?
You sure did. North Korea fired on them, there is at least one person dead, and buildings on fire. It is being refered to as a “skirmish”, but there is a lot of international concern.
Heard a second ROK Marine died.
That will scare 'em.
“I’m still wondering about that “missile” that took off near the coast of California.”
Maybe we have warned to stay out of it.
The big question is: Just when will nobama hold a presser to apologize for the United States...and will he do it in English or Korean? A secondary question is: Will this presser occur at the White House or on a golf course? A tertiary question is: Will these developments interfere with his lengthy family vacation to Hawaii? Enquiring minds want to know.
