S.Korea says it test-fired in area before N.Korea firing
SEOUL |
SEOUL Nov 23 (Reuters) - South Korea said it was conducting regular military drills off the west coast before North Korea started firing dozens of shells, but that its firing exercises did not aim to the North.
"We were conducting usual military drills and our test shots were aimed toward the west, not the north," a South Korean military official said.
North Korea said on Tuesday that Seoul had initiated firing of shells, prompting it to take an instant military action. [ID:nTOE6AM05B]

Of course it’s “America’s fault” After all, Billy Clinton sold nuclear secrets to NK, Bush and Condi tried to keep NK on an even keel, then Obama came along and upset the entire cart running around the world telling everyone we deserve to be a third-rate nation. Where are the leaders of yore? Certainly not in Washington!
