SEOUL — North Korea fired more than 200 artillery rounds into the sea on Friday near a tensely defended maritime border with South Korea, a military official said, while residents of two South Korean islands were ordered to evacuate due to an unknown “situation.”
The defense ministry would not confirm if the order was prompted by the North’s artillery firing or South Korean drills in response.
However, a text message sent to residents and confirmed by an island official cited “naval fire” to be conducted by South Korean troops from 3 p.m.(0600 GMT) Friday.
An official on Yeonpyeong island, which sits just south of the disputed Northern Limit Line (NLL) sea border, said the evacuation was ordered at the request of the South Korean military.

Oh yeah, never mind, they disposed of their artillery shells in Ukraine on orders of the Neocons.
How can an entire country the size of Texas live rent free in your head. How about, South Korea doesn’t want to rush into a war, because it’s not run by “neocons,” but knows what war with the Norks would mean.

South Korea , Japan , Australia needs their own nuclear weapons
They are putting their own citizens in danger by not pursuing these types of weapons
Another situation that Trump had well under control, where Brandon went back to Obama-style hostility and weakness - and predictably it turned to sh*t !
Brandon manages to steal 2024, the world is toast. I absolutely without question can see WW3 breaking out and with nukes. This coming election is not just the most important election in US history, but in world history.
North Korea would not be so bold if the Clintons had not given them nukes.
I can’t disagree.
Not everything is about Ukraine.
You're making me look bad.

This is little man syndrome.

Not enough people here have a military background, but those that do understand that there is now a POWER VACUUM on the Korean Peninsula, with South Korea no longer able to effectively deter North Korean shelling, due to the reasons that I alluded to before.
Aide: "Mr. President, there is a situation developing on the Korean peninsula."

...and the Neocon Cheerleaders will be CHEERING BIDEN ON, as they do in wars in other parts of the world.
NK sent Russia twice as many shells as SK sent Ukraine. Advantage SK.
“NK sent Russia twice as many shells as SK sent Ukraine.”
Link please. I don’t believe I’ve seen a North Korean or Russian source confirming your claim.
