South Korea Fires Warning Shots as N. Korean Ships Enter Waters

By Bomi Lim

May 16 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea said its naval forces fired warning shots last night to drive away North Korean patrol ships that had crossed the western sea border between the two nations.

Two North Korean ships entered South Korean waters separately between 10 p.m. and midnight, said an official at the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul. The first ship retreated after being warned off by radio and the second retired after a couple of warning shots were fired, said the official, who declined to be named because of military policy.

North Koreans are hard heads...to them, one through the hull is a warning shot.

I'm sure it can be arranged.
