North Korea: Artillery Fired Into Yellow Sea

The North Korean military fired dozens of artillery shells on Monday into the Yellow Sea, Reuters reports.

The shelling off the west coast took place near the border soon after a South Korean west coast naval exercise officially ended at 5 p.m., South Korean military officials said.

South Korean officials said 100-plus rounds landed on the North Korea side of the border, reported CNN.

Earlier on Monday, the U.S.-led United Nations Command said North Korean military officials agreed to a fourth meeting at the Panmunjom truce village scheduled for Tuesday.

Tensions have been high on the peninsula since Seoul accused Pyongyang of torpedoing a South Korean warship in March, killing 46 sailors.
