North Korea twice fired artillery shells into the sea off the South's western coast, said South Korean media.
South Korean coastal bases responded to the first volley with warning shots, but no injuries were reported.
The North said the firing had been part of an annual military drill and firing would continue, but Seoul said the action was "provocative".
Next, the Pillsbury Nuke boy will put ROK's pigtail in the ink well.
North Korea is dying. I'm relieved that the Obama administration is letting them die and not shoveling money at them in yet another vain attempt to convince the nut jobs up north to abandon nuclear weapons.
I've got no problem with the administration's approach so far. But then again, I never got upset with the Bush administration over North Korea.
As far as I'm concerned, our best policy is to talk, smile, send minimal aid to keep their hopes of the big payoff alive, and let them slowly die from their own mis-management..
