North Korea fired at least 200 bombs at South Korean island with no reason.

North Korea has ablaze at least 200 artillery shells at a South Korean island Yeonpyeong in the Yellow Sea today, killing 2 troops and gravely injuring at least 12 servicemen, according to the reports. After that, strains between North and South Korea have boiled over, with shots being fired by both sides.

Tensions have been running soaring since prior in the year when the South charged the North of torpedoing one of its navy vessels and killing the 46 sailors on board. Just 2 days ago the North exposed the subsistence of an earlier secret uranium nuclear programme.

The South Korean military went on its uppermost state of alert, the defence ministry said and YTN statement that South Korean air force jets were knotted to the island.

Today, the government assembled a meeting the president’s war trench to settle on on a plan of action following the attack. F-16 fighter jets were rounded up and the state of military willingness was lifted to its uppermost level short of war.

A ministry spokesman told that “A North Korean artillery unit staged an illegal firing provocation at 2:34 pm (0534 GMT) and South Korean troops fired back immediately in self-defence”.

North Korea bombs South Korea's Yeonpyeong island; 2 dead, 13 wounded in attack: report

Tensions between North and South Korea have boiled over, with shots being fired by both sides leaving at least two marines dead and wounding more than 13 others.

The conflict came to a head on Tuesday when the North fired artillery at an island belonging to the South in the Yellow Sea, according to military officials.

At least 100 rounds fell on Yeonpyeong, which houses a military garrison and is home to some 1,600 residents, according to the Yonhap news agency. However, the Defense Ministry has not confirmed how many rounds actually struck the island.

In response to the attack, the South Korean military fired more than 80 rounds into North Korea and launched fighter jets. The exchange of artillery lasted about an hour, CNN reports.

Images of smoke spewing into the sky over the small island were broadcast on Yonhap television, and showed several houses on fire. Residents have begun to flee to the South Korean mainland some 90 miles away.

"I was at home when I was surprised by the sounds of bomb explosions," a 35-year-old resident told the Korean news agency. "As I stepped out of my home, I saw the entire village had already turned into a sea of fire."

The attack began around 2:34 p.m. local time, a military official told Yonhap. Tensions between the neighboring nations have worsened since earlier this year, when a North Korean torpedo sank a South Korean navy ship, killing 46 people. It was also revealed this weekend that the North has secretly constructed a facility that allows it to produce low-enriched uranium.

The artillery fire followed a routine military drill by the South near Yeonpyeong island, Yonhap reports. The nine-day practice occurs annually at the site and started on Monday.

"North Korea's indiscriminate artillery attack on Yeonpyeong Island is a clear military provocation on the Republic of Korea," Hong Sang-pyo, senior secretary for public affairs at the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae, said in a statement. "Furthermore, recklessly shelling against civilians can never be tolerated."

The United States, which has tens of thousands of troops stationed in South Korea, was also quick to blast the North Korean attack.
