Norks designate 'naval firing zones' along sea border
SEOUL, Feb. 19 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has raised the possibility of a further show of force in the East and Yellow seas by temporarily designating six regions along its maritime border with South Korea as "naval firing zones," a government Web site said Friday.North Korea has unilaterally notified the South it will conduct artillery fire drills in four areas in the Yellow Sea and two areas in the East Sea for three days from Saturday, Seoul's National Oceanographic Research Institute said on its Web site. The designated regions are all in North Korea's own territory, north of the Northern Limit Line (NLL), the de facto maritime border between the two Koreas. Posted by: Steve White 2010-02-19 |
