South Korea Fires Warning Shots After North Korean Patrol Boat Incursion

 

NK News: South Korea fires warning shots at North Korean vessel west of peninsula: JCS  

ROK vessel collides with Chinese ship while responding to DPRK incursion south of the inter-Korean maritime border 

South Korea fired warning shots at a North Korean patrol boat late Saturday morning, according to a statement by South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) released the following day. 

A North Korean vessel crossed the maritime demarcation line in the Yellow Sea near South Korea’s westernmost island of Baengnyeong, the JCS said, adding that the ROK vessel fired warning shots at approximately 11:00 a.m. KST. 

During the incident, a South Korean navy vessel reportedly collided with a Chinese fishing vessel due to bad visibility, resulting in minor casualties aboard the ROK ship. 

In the statement, JCS said it continues to closely monitor “enemy movements.” It is unclear if the DPRK also responded to South Korea’s warning shots on Saturday.

To say this "Trump loves this" is just asinine. You prosecute one but not the others in handling the situation.
