"South Korea said its naval forces fired warning shots last night to drive away North Korean patrol ships that had crossed the western sea border between the two nations.
Two North Korean ships entered South Korean waters separately between 10 p.m. and midnight, said an official at the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul. The first ship retreated after being warned off by radio and the second retired after a couple of warning shots were fired, said the official, who declined to be named because of military policy.
North Korean ships ventured into South Korea’s waters for the first time since the March 26 sinking of a South Korean naval warship in the area. North Korea doesn’t recognize the western sea border demarcated by the United Nations after the Korean War, and the dispute caused skirmishes between the two in 1999, 2002 and November last year."

Just to refresh everyones memory, we've got something like 25,000 troops stationed on the 38th Parallel, waiting to repel the North Korean Army and their good friends the Chinese. Just one more endless war to be involved in, for no good reason.
The bankers need war to increase their profits. They've just about exhausted everything else.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
