(29 Apr 2014) North Korea conducted live-fire artillery drills near its disputed western sea boundary on Tuesday, the South Korean Defence Ministry said.
Defence ministry spokesperson Kim Min-seok said North Korea tested 50 rounds of artillery shells around 2 p.m. (0500 GMT).
He added fishing vessels and residents in the areas were safely evacuated before the drills commenced.
Last month, South Korea fired artillery shells into the North's waters after North Korean shells from a live-fire drill landed south of the boundary.
After South Korean drills in 2010, North Korea shelled a South Korean island, killing four people.
A year after threatening each other with war, the Koreas had restored some trust and held reunions earlier this year of families divided by the war.
But ties have since steadily soured. Pyongyang this week made a sexist rhetorical attack on President Park Geun-hye, calling her a "despicable prostitute."
