South Korea Fires Warning Shots to Repel North Korean Patrol Boat - Tasnim News Agency

(Tasnim) – South Korea says it fired warning shots at a North Korean patrol boat that temporarily crossed the countries’ disputed western sea boundary while chasing an unarmed North Korean vessel.

The North Korean patrol boat crossed the so-called Northern Limit Line on Tuesday morning while pursuing the vessel in waters near South Korea's Baekryeong island and retreated after a South Korean naval ship fired warning shots, according to Seoul’s Defense Ministry and Joint Chiefs of Staff.
