Navies Continue To Fight

In yet another "smallest surprise ever," the South Korean Navy fired warning shots at the North's patrol boats on Saturday.

One North Korean patrol boat crossed the Northern Limit Line on Saturday and retreated after a radio call. Shortly after, a second boat came and ignored the radio warning, so shots were fired to scare it off.

There's a reason the North so blatantly crosses the NLL.

From the story:

'The North has never recognised the NLL border drawn by the US-led United Nations Command after the 1950-1953 Korean war ended in an armistice. But the South has maintained it as a de facto inter-Korean border.'

Well, that makes sense.
