N. Korean naval boats violate western sea border

SEOUL, May 16 (Yonhap) -- Two North Korean patrol boats separately crossed into South Korean waters on Saturday night but retreated after the South Korean Navy fired warning shots, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JSC) said Sunday.

According to JSC officials, a North Korean naval boat crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea at 10:13 p.m. Saturday and came about 2.2 kilometers into South Korean waters. The North Korean boat sailed back to the North 30 minutes later after receiving a warning communication from the South Korean Navy, they said.

P!

I wonder if SK vessels are taking any anti sub measures.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Right. I am curious, too.

It's understandable that the South Koreans are frightened by all this.But it shouldn't be a surprise.NK knows that with Hussein in DC they have *nothing* to fear from a *single* nation on earth.South Koreans would be wise to pray that Hussein leaves office sooner rather than later.

NK has been pushing haven’t they?

My preferred method of communication would be steel on target.

And the NK's will keep on testing the limits as long as they keep giving "warning shots". Time for some "center mass" shots...

Personally, I still believe the NK's are responsible for the sinking of the South's ship recently.

This is the post-attack probe to find out any change in SK response after their frigate Cheonan was sunk(by N. Koreans.)

Yes, they will continue to do this, steadily pushing the boundary as much as possible.
