DPRK notifies South Korea of live-fire drill near border
The South Korean ministry of defense says it's been notified by the DPRK of live fire drills to be held in two areas near a disputed sea border.
韓國國防外交部稱,朝鮮通告將在兩個有爭議的海上邊界地區進行實彈射擊演習。
The DPRK conducted similar drills in late March, firing more than 500 rounds of artillery near the so-called Northern Limit Line, the de-facto sea border since the 1950-to-53 Korean war. More than 100 rounds landed south of the border, prompting South Korea to fire hundreds of rounds back into the North's waters.
朝鮮三月底進行過類似演習,在1950年至1953年朝鮮戰爭后的實際邊界,即所謂的北方邊界線附近發射500多發炮彈。其中超過100發落在邊界南部,促使韓國將數百發發回北方水域。
