North Korea fired artillery rounds into its sea boundaries with South Korea on Tuesday in retaliation for South Korea’s annual military drills, which it regards as “provocative acts.”

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said the North fired about 100 artillery rounds off its west coast around 10 p.m. (local time), followed by another 150 rounds off its east coast an hour later, Yonhap News Agency reported.
