North, South Korea Exchange Fire

North Korea fires artillery barrage on South
SEOUL (AFP) -- North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells onto a South Korean island on Tuesday, killing one person, setting homes ablaze and triggering an exchange of fire as the South's military went on top alert.
In what appeared to be one of the most serious border incidents since the 1950-53 war, South Korean troops fired back with cannon, the government convened in an underground war room and "multiple" air force jets scrambled.
The firing came after North Korea's disclosure of an apparently operational uranium enrichment programme -- a second potential way of building a nuclear bomb -- which is causing serious alarm for the United States and its allies.
Some 50 shells landed on the South Korean border island of Yeonpyeong near the tense Yellow Sea border, damaging dozens of houses and sending plumes of thick smoke into the air, YTN television reported.
One South Korean marine -- part of a contingent based permanently on the frontline island -- was killed and 13 other marines were wounded, the military said. YTN said two civilians were also hurt.

@HateFenians Well if no other country does anything.. North Korea will nuke South Korea and that will cause more chaos. North Korea has a lot of dedicated and loyal citizens so you know that many will risk their lives to fight or their country.

Why does the USA always get involved in everybody's affairs. It's putting a strain on everyone's nerves in this country. We have our own problems remember; unemployment, housing market..........

ww3... maybe its just the start of north korean attacks

[HateFenians]

I think America should only get involved if China gets involved, Iran won't get involved since its a civilised society compared to some other countries in Asia and good human rights practices and freedom of speech exists there.

The UK should only get involved if Russia becomes involved, with bombing missions over Moscow and Saint Petersburg{Leningrad)

@HateFenians He gotta do what he gotta do.. America and South Korea are allies and that's what allies do for one another.. protect and watch each other's back.

Survey says: its the jews! Who benefits? Somehow i smell the same rats who pulled off 911 and countless other false flags. Israel probably dropped off some special ops nearby and mortared south korea, just like an israeli sub sank the south korean patrol boat.
