The latest in a series of launches by an increasingly belligerent Pyongyang.

About 130 artillery rounds were simultaneously fired at 2.59pm yesterday from two separate sites, one on North Korea’s east coast and one on the west coast, the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

It said none of the shells crossed the Northern Limit Line, the de facto maritime border between the two countries. North Korea, however, claimed the barrage was a “tit for tat warning” against what it described as multiple artillery firings by the South. North Korea’s army “will always take account of all provocative actions of the enemy and respond with resolute and overwhelming military action,” added a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
