South Korea’s defense minister Kim Tae-young escalated the rhetoric on Tuesday, saying South Korean forces would fire on North Korean targets if artillery shells fired by the North landed on South Korea’s side of the line in the Yellow Sea, as they did after South Korea finished exercises there more than a week ago. South Korean and US naval ships are planning more war games in the Yellow Sea early next month.
I'm guessing that North Korea will fire across that line after we hold those exercises next month.
So does a promise to fire back at North Korean "targets" mean a similar barrage across the line or something more?
