South Korea fires warning shots after North's boat crosses sea border

India Today  

South Korea fired warning shots toward a North Korean vessel that crossed the maritime border on Saturday, South Korea's military said a day after the incident which came amid recent tension over the North's missile tests. The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff said it fired warning shots and broadcast warnings to expel a North Korean patrol boat that breached the Northern Limit Line, the de facto sea boundary, at around 11:00 am on Saturday. "Our military maintains decisive battle posture while monitoring the enemy's movements in preparation for potential provocations regarding NLL violations by North Korean patrol boats," the JCS said in a statement on Sunday. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this week ordered strengthening war deterrence in a "more practical and offensive" manner to counter what the isolated country called moves of aggression by the United States and South Korea.
