North Korea reportedly fired artillery shells into its own waters northeast of South Korea’s Baengnyeong Island in the Yellow Sea around 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
An official at the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul said that several artillery shells landed in waters north of the inter-Korean maritime border.
He added that the artillery firing appears to have been part of a regular military drill by North Korea and is not a cause for concern.
