It's really a big blast when we heard this news that North Korea attacked South Korean Island by bombing like it was declaring a war. But it seems that both country involved in that said bombing claimed that it's the other that started.
That bomb attack received by the South Korea from North Korea just triggered the first to throw back an attack. Both had exchanged an artillery fire that lasted for some lengthy time which had left two South Korean soldiers to die and 15 others wounded. South Korea said that the trouble started when the North fired shells at a small fishing island in the Yellow Sea.
“This attack was not planned at all, it’s very deliberate. What did North Korea had violated the ceasefire agreement is governed by the UN,” said General Lee Hong-ki.
South Korea has announced and declared a state of emergency and the US, as an allied country, has declared its support.
But why this really happened?
Tensions are really on the way to the peak since March, when a South Korean naval vessel in the same area sunk, causing 46 sailors to die. Seoul just blamed that North Korean torpedo attack caused the vessel to sink, but the North has denied involvement. Then earlier this month, South Korean navy just fired warning shots at a North Korean fishing boat after the craft strayed across the border. The North Korean boat retreated.
