On ‍Saturday, ‌North Korea fired 60 artillery shells near the South Korean​ island of Yeonpyeong,⁤ according to what the South Korean army ​announced, the day after a first batch was fired by Boeing,⁤ which prompted a response from Seoul with live ammunition exercises⁣ in the area.

The⁣ South Korean General Staff said, “North Korean forces fired⁢ more ⁤than 60 artillery​ shells between approximately 16:00 and 17:00” (between 7 and ‍8 GMT), warning Pyongyang against continuing these bombing operations.

On Friday, Boeing fired more than ‍200 artillery shells near the islands of Yeonpyeong and Pangyeondo, located south of the de facto maritime border between the two Koreas.

Residents⁢ of the two islands were asked to move to‍ shelters,⁣ and ferry ⁢traffic was suspended, in a military escalation considered one of the most‌ dangerous on the Korean Peninsula since Pyeongyang bombed one ⁣of the two islands ‌in 2010.

Relations between the two Koreas are currently at one of their ⁢lowest levels in decades after Kim enshrined his country’s status as a nuclear power in the constitution and ⁤his country conducted⁣ a series of tests on many advanced intercontinental ballistic ‍missiles.

In 2023, North Korea conducted a record number of ballistic⁤ missile tests, in violation‌ of several United Nations resolutions that prevent Pyongyang⁣ from developing ⁢this technology.
