Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea fired artillery toward its tense western sea border with South Korea on Tuesday, killing two South Korean marines, the South's Defense Ministry said.

Fifteen other South Korean soldiers were wounded, five of them seriously, defense officials said. Three civilians were injured in the attack.

About 100 rounds of artillery hit an inhabited South Korean island in the Yellow Sea after the North started firing about 2:30 p.m. local time, the Yonhap news agency said. Yonhap initially reported that 200 rounds had hit. The Defense Ministry said it could not confirm the number of rounds.

South Korea's military responded with more than 80 rounds of artillery and deployed fighter jets to counter the fire, defense officials said. Firing between the two sides lasted for about an hour.

The South Korean army also raised its alert condition, Yonhap said.

I have a bad feeling about all of this.

And doesn't this smell like distraction to you? Maybe something happened to Kim Jong Il.

13. I have been leery of the 3rd generation Kim coming into power.

If, and when he does (if this isn't it), I anticipated him flexing his muscle in some way.

6. It was a joke because when I looked for a thread about it, the first page was almost all TSA threads

Sheesh.

And if you want to unrec and hide it, you don't need to announce it.

7. Serious news can always be found in LBN

Trying to keep important events up above the tide of DU me-tooism in GD isn't always worth it. But I appreciate you trying. :pals:

Wills and Kate just set their wedding date.

:sarcasm:

And, two out of the three broadcast networks had this bullshit as their lead story this morning. Only ABC started with the Korean incident Oh, and I've only heard NPR mention the thousands of centrifuges discovered there. Fraudzilla's new book is much, much more important, for sure.. Our MSM is pathetic.
