North Korea fires artillery shells towards South's border island | BBC News

North Korea has fired more than 200 rounds of artillery shells off its west coast, towards the South's Yeonpyeong island, Seoul's military has said.

South Korea ordered civilians to seek shelter on the island before holding live fire drills of its own.

The South called it a "provocative act", but the North denied the islands were in danger from its firing drills.
