This should end well.South Korea's military officials said this week's exercises would be more intensive than initially planned.
"The intensity for the Yellow Sea drills will be higher than planned," said another official at the South's JCS. "Participating troops will conduct live-fire shooting and bombing drills."

It'll probably all blow over. Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend that anyone invest in real estate on the Korean peninsula anytime soon.

It'll probably blow over rather than up, but I'm not sure that's what everyone wants. NK can't be far from weaponizing a few missiles with nukes. I think some key players in this want to see that process interrupted. A local nuclear arms race is not, I think, a viable option under the circumstances.Ian wrote:It'll probably all blow over.

We could threaten to send Nancy Pelosi to NK. Bet that'd straighten them up. But I think that sort of thing is prohibited by the Geneva Convention or some such.

'Artillery fire' on Korea border
North Korea has fired several artillery shells across its western maritime border, prompting return fire from South Korea, reports say.
Some of the shells were reported to have landed on a South Korean island.
A television station said some houses on the island were on fire, but this has not been formally confirmed by South Korean defence officials.
The incident comes days after North Korea revealed it had a modern uranium enrichment plant.
Earlier, the US ruled out more denuclearisation talks while Pyongyang continued to work on the facility.
South Korean officials said several rounds of artillery landed on Yeonpyeong island, near the disputed inter-Korean maritime border to the west of the Korean Peninsula.
"A North Korean artillery unit staged an illegal firing provocation at 2:34 PM (0534 GMT) and South Korean troops fired back immediately in self-defence," a defence ministry spokesman told AFP.

"In self-defense" of what? It's not their Island and there were obviously no troops there. Stupid officials are stupid.
North Korea FTW.
