SEOUL, May 20 (Yonhap) -- Three North Korean military vessels briefly crossed the western maritime border on Tuesday, prompting the South Korean military to fire warning shots to force their retreat, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

"Two patrol boats and one government ship from North Korea crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea at around 4 p.m. in succession," the JCS said in a statement.

"The vessels retreated about an hour later after the South's military fired 10 shots," it added.

The intrusion took place in waters near Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea's northernmost territory in the Yellow Sea that lies off the coast of North Korea's Hwanghae Province.
