So does anyone care yet?:
North Korea fired dozens of coastal artillery shells around 8:10 a.m. yesterday in the waters north of the Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea near Yeonpyeong Island on the peninsula’s west coast, said South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The shells landed in the North’s own waters north of the NLL, the de facto inter-Korean maritime border.
Yesterday’s action took place following similar rounds of shooting on Wednesday in two areas that the North designated “no-sail” zones near Baengnyeong Island in the Yellow Sea. It was the first time the North fired shells near the NLL.
The North had not declared areas near Yeonpyeong as no-sail zones.
“We have received reports from military bases in Yeonpyeong Island that they heard firing,” said Colonel Park Sung-woo, spokesman for the JCS.
“Reportedly, the North shot into its own territory,” he added. “We still cannot confirm exactly where the shells were fired and the type of shells. We are closely monitoring the situation.” [Joong Ang Ilbo]
No I didn’t think so.

It would appear they no longer have any missles that they can afford to expend, so its on to using expired artillery shells. Wonder how long that will last.
