North Korea Fires Rockets at South Korean Island

SEOUL—North Korea fired artillery at South Korea's Yeonpyeong island in the Yellow Sea off the countries' west coast, setting houses on fire. South Korea returned fire, according to residents on the island speaking on South Korea's YTN television network.

A spokesman for South Korea's Joint Chief of Staff confirmed the exchange but didn't have details except to say "scores of rounds" were fired by the North.

Battle continues

N Korea so far fired over 200 shells

[link to www.bbc.co.uk]

Reports have it, the South Koreans fired back.

Question is how far will they take this?

Caught our "intelligence" agencies completely off-guard.
As in, they didn't even know the enrichment facility existed.

Good for North Korea! You got to have nukes or the US will invade your ass.

Well that's real fuckin good news....

I hope some "cool heads" are on the ball there...

Hope they both cut the crap or this could be real bad.

How much you wanna bet China gave lil kim the "Go-Ahead"

They are pissed about our fiscal policies and meddling in their human rights affairs.

Nothing like a war to get everyone to forget about the bad economy

Opinion: Possibly related to South Korean exercises being conducted.

That's it.

Fighting stopped for now

Kevin Martin said those are not shells, they're small airplanes.
