The South Korean military claims that North Korea violated a 2018 inter-Korean agreement meant to reduce tensions on Monday morning by launching 130 artillery rounds into the ocean off both its east and west coasts.

South Korean military exercises, according to North Korea, were discovered.

According to a statement from South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, verbal warning communications were sent to the North Korean side.

According to a report, shells from the leader Kim Jong-un’s most recent military display landed in a buffer zone close to the maritime border.

In the middle of November, the hermit kingdom fired a ballistic missile that splashed down in waters due east of the Korean Peninsula.

South Korea is no stranger to this sort of behavior from hostile actors.

Even more recent, South Korea was forced to scramble jets without warning after multiple Chinese warplanes (and six Russian) were found entering its air defense identification zone (KADIZ).
