North and South Korean warships have exchanged gunfire after Kim Jong-Un's navy were accused of illegally entering waters belonging to its neighbour.
In the latest sign of rising animosity between the bitter rivals, officials from South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defense Ministry said a North Korean vessel fired two artillery shells at a ship patrolling the countries' disputed maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea.
The shells apparently missed the South Korean ship, which responded to the act by deliberately firing several artillery rounds in to the water near the North Korean vessel.

Gotta love the Dailymail and its overzealous headlines... Nothing but a snorefest at this stage.
Hate to say it, but I do wish sometimes that they would just, you know, 'get on' with it.
Maybe I'm feeling extra bitter today, but all this dancing about is making me dizzy...
Is this typical or is it a sign that the countries wil declaer war on each other?
A small confession D. Plowman ... I love the Daily Mail's screaming headlines .... the content is usually so-so .... but their headlines always catch my attention.
As for North and South Korea always going to the edge .... and stepping back .... I am also getting a bit bored of this continuous dance.
