“drills will not be conducted in areas around Baengnyeong Island or Yeonpyeong Island near the Yellow Sea maritime border with North Korea”
Because of that, I would be very very surprised if NK were to react to these drills.
Yep. For now anyways. Still no word when they will start the drills up again by Yeonpyeong Island. When/if they do, that’s when we have to watch out.
One of the locations of the drills will be Daecheong Island, 80 kilometers west of Yeonpyeong Island. The island is near the Northern Limit Line, which North Korea does not recognize.
