Navies of 2 Koreas exchange fire
SEOUL, South Korea – Navy ships of the two Koreas exchanged fire Tuesday along their disputed western sea border, South Korean military officers said.
A South Korean warship shot at a North Korean navy ship that crossed the disputed western sea border on Tuesday morning and the North’s ship shot back, said an officer at the Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Another officer said there were no South Korean casualties, though it was unclear whether there were any on the North Korean side. He said that the North Korean ship was seriously damaged and that it turned back toward northern waters after the brief skirmish.
