　　South Korean officials say North and South Korea exchanged artillery fire
Wednesday in an area near their tense maritime border in the Yellow Sea. The
defense ministry said all the shots fell into the sea and there were no reports
of damage or injuries. The exchange took place near Yeonpyeong island, where a
North Korean artillery attack killed four South Koreans in November.
        　　The spokesman said South Korean forces heard several shots fired from North
Korea, apparently from an island about 11 kilometers north of the border. The
troops saw one shell land in the water near Yeonpyeong.The spokesman said South
Korea responded by sending a radio warning to the North. About 35 minutes later,
the South fired three howitzer shells into the sea.
