South Korea says North fired about 130 artillery rounds into the water near their western and eastern sea borders, the latest military action contributing to worsening relations between the neighbours
Calling it a"clear violation" of 2018 agreement, South Korea said none of the shells crossed the Northern Limit Line, the de facto maritime border between the two countries.
About 130 artillery rounds were simultaneously fired at 0559 GMT from two separate sites on Monday, one on North Korea's east coast and one on the west coasts, Seoul's military said. The military said it had issued "several warnings" over the barrage, without giving any further details.
