'N Korea launches firing drills in Yellow Sea'

May 13, 2015 21:01

North Korea launched live-fire drills near the disputed sea border with South Korea late today, a media report said, amid high tensions over Pyongyang's recent submarine-launched ballistic missile test.

The reported firing drills -- some shot from a war ship -- came just hours after Pyongyang informed South Korea of its plans to conduct the exercise. The artillery rounds were fired near the South's Baengnyeong and Yeonpyeong islands, but none landed on the south side of the disputed border in the Yellow Sea, the Yonhap news agency reported.
