South Korean Navy Fires Warning Shots at Patrol Boat from the North

South Korea’s navy has fired warning shots at a patrol boat from the North after a pair of vessels crossed into protected waters near the contested border of the Northern Limit Line.

According to South Korea officials the North Korean patrol boat had sailed nearly two miles into South-controlled waters  and after a warning was made several shots were fired, encouraging the North to retreat back to its waters.

Shortly after the first incident the North sent a second patrol boat into the South’s waters but it was quickly turned back when another warning shot was fired.

The tension between the North and South has continued to mount following the mysterious sinking of a South Korean warship in March. While there has been no official word on the cause, many suspect a torpedo strike from a North ship sank the vessel and killed 46 sailors.
