This will certainly cool things off

Not exactly atypical behavior by the North Koreans, but welcome to your latest international crisis:

North Korea fired barrages of artillery onto a South Korean island near their disputed western border Tuesday, setting buildings ablaze and killing at least one marine after warning the South to halt military drills in the area, South Korean officials said.

The skirmish came amid high tension over North Korea's claim that it has a new uranium enrichment facility and just six weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il unveiled his youngest son Kim Jong Un as his heir apparent.

what, they warned the ROK it was pushing things too far and then dar lobbed a few rounds to back up their warnings? How dare they?
