Seoul, South Korea (CNN) – North Korea on Tuesday fired artillery into the sea near its tense western sea border with South Korea, injuring at least 14 South Korean military personnel and two civilians, the Yonhap news agency reported.
Four of the military personnel were seriously injured, Yonhap said.
At least 200 rounds of artillery hit an inhabited South Korean island after the North started firing about 2:30 p.m. local time, Yonhap said.

South Korea’s military responded with 80 rounds of artillery and deployed fighter jets to counter the fire, the report said.
The South Korean army also raised its alert condition, the report said.
Images of plumes of smoke were quickly broadcast on Yonhap television from the island of Yeonpyeong, but it was not immediately clear what the artillery had hit.
The island that was hit has a total of about 1,300 residents, a fisherman who lives on the island told Yonhap.
The South Korean government immediately called an emergency meeting of its security ministers.
The North Korean fire came as the South’s military conducted routine drills in waters off the island.

Oh dear.

After all is said and done, this means that all the rest of the world will have a shot at being the best at Starcraft and Tekken, but we will have less awesome scary movies. I do not approve of this.

Serioulsy though, I am flabbergasted at this. This is some really scary stuff.

Awwwwww hell no.

This is the kind of shit that gets wars started, but i don’t think things will blossom that quickly. i hope not, anyway. china will probably step in.

[Cryoh]

Oh god dammit, North Korea. I’m still in the Inactive Ready Reserve!

I have no idea why they have not dropped support for N.Korea yet. In grand scheme of things, their idiocy just shits on the goals china has for itself.

hoooooooo boy

This sums up my thoughts exactly. It’s about to hit the fan over there.

[Ouroborus]

[Drunken_Geordie]

Ya dun’ goofed Kim.

[Raziel321]

Um, forgive my ignorance, but does this happen often between North and South Korea, or is this something pretty damn serious?

Is this some kind of response template? Start off with a corny joke, and then add in a “serious” response to make it seem relevant to the topic? I’ve been seeing these kind of posts a lot.

Used to dealing with a bunch of people that cannot get a joke, so I’m used to having to add the apologetic comment afterwards with certain people. It is retarded as all hell so I guess I’ll cut it out online.

This is still some really scary stuff.

[DaDesiCanadian]

Yeah, i’m also curious to know if this is fairly common and will fizzle out, or does this have serious potential consequences?

[ckrazy]

Can we just kill these mother fuckers already?

North Korea has been trolling the world for too long , lets just end this shit! :rock:

I’m leaning more towards serious potential consequences.

Especially if it turns out those rounds they fired at the island hit anything.

The two countries have fought along their water border before, but I don’t recall it involving an island where civilians lived and had to be evacuated. I’d say that’s serious.

NK fire numerous shots in the past. They just always missed cause they can’t aim for shit with their shitty 1980 technology. CNN has it that 1 died and 15 injured already. So that means they actually improved their fucking aim this time.

Fuck NK.
