Something like this happens about once a month.

I live just south of Ganghwa island. The lack of concearn is palpable.

It happens quite often. Furthermore, the shots were into the ocean. Saber rattling, move along, nothing to see here.

 

[Just thinking]

Is the act of SK returning fire common?

Hey, arms manufacturers who escalate conflicts (is there really such a case?) do it for the money. Nutty communist dictators do it for free!
