Map Of Flare-Up Between North And South Korea
November 23, 2010
This is one of the worst clashes since the Korean War ended.
South Korea says it has returned fire after North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells at one of its border islands, killing two marines.
The South’s military was placed on its highest non-wartime alert after the shells landed on Yeonpyeong island.
Pyongyang accused the South of firing first. The Southern military said it had conducted exercises but shelling was directed away from the North.

I think the countries in the region should develop a common strategy to end North Korea’s missile development programs. What is needed is a concerted effort because the war on the Korean Peninsula would produce massive casualties. Everyone knows that the stakes are very high since the two countries possess technologies with the potential to threaten the rest of the world.
