Okay, as of now they are basically firing warning shots at each other but this could put tensions between North Korea and South Korea over the top. And considering the mental state of the North's leader, who knows what could happen by morning.

North And South Korea In Sea Border Clash
North and South Korea have exchanged artillery fire near a disputed sea border off the west coast of the peninsula.
South Korea's presidential Blue House said both sides were firing into the air and there were no casualties, according to the Yonhap news agency.
The South called a meeting of top national security officials.
On Tuesday, North Korea had declared a no-sail zone in the Yellow Sea waters, in a sign that it might fire artillery or short-range missiles, media reports said.
The area is near a contested sea border between the rival Koreas that was the site of a brief naval clash in November between the states, which are technically still at war.
A South Korean ship was pockmarked with bullet holes and a North Korean vessel limped back to port in flames after that fire fight.
About a month before that clash, North Korea raised regional security concerns by firing short-range missiles off its east coast.
Destitute North Korea in recent weeks has signalled that it is ready to reduce the security threat it poses in North Asia by saying it could end its year-long boycott of international nuclear disarmament talks.
Analysts said the latest moves may be an attempt by Pyongyang to increase its leverage and win concessions to lure it back to the table in the disarmament-for-aid talks among the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the US.
The exchange rattled stock markets, with Seoul's main exchange extending losses and the won wiping out early gains against the dollar.

I've just gotta ask. What's up with the white wall tires?
I wondered the same thing Lysol is asking about:-)
Most of us won't care about authentication.
God Bless the American Military...
God Save the United States....
Maggie and Lysol,
Whitewalls! hahaha
I thought perhaps that the file photo used here was from the 60's but afterall, it IS North Korea so it was probably taken last year.

The Norks had to use artillery this time, the last time they exchanged fire with the south they lost a sailor and damn near lost one of their shops.
