That takes it up a notch. Wonder what ROK will do now? I don’t think they can let this go unanswered

Again, no indication of fresh shelling on Yeonpyeong despite speculation to contrary. Sound of artillery in #DPRK (about 10km away) heard.

It’s Fox, I’m taking it with a huge grain of salt.

So now they are attempting to shoot down some SK aircraft?

NK looks like they are having quite the temper tantrum are they not?

[FourPeas]

Aircraft, or are they ballistic missiles aimed at the ships offshore?

FOX is the last place people should be looking for breaking news. They don’t have any feet on the street and are usually wrong!

Here’s the thing: has the DPRK army moved a large number of troops close to the DMZ in recent days? Or has there been large movements of trucks loaded with ammunition to artillery positions north of the DMZ that can reach Seoul at the same time? Any invasion will require a large massing of troops, and that’s really hard to miss with modern sensor technology.

Ballistics to engage the training exercises underway.

NKorea deploys missiles 10:21 AM

SEOUL - NORTH Korea has deployed SA-2 surface-to-air missiles near its disputed Yellow Sea border with South Korea, a report said on Sunday as a major US-led naval exercise began further to the south.

The missiles appear to be targeting the South’s jet fighters flying near the Northern Limit Line which marks the border, Yonhap news agency quoted a government source as saying.
