Marine units deployed on Paekryong and Yonphyong Islands fired hundreds of shells with various types of artillery pieces, fanning up war fever.

That day the warmongers were busy with drills, monitoring moves of the DPRK with various types of radars in a bid to go over to a real war any time, pursuant to a new war doctrine.

Reckless shelling drills staged on those islands from the outset of the year in a sinister design to trigger off the second Yonphyong Island shelling incident went on in the year, creating in the waters such tense situation where an armed clash may break out again any time.

Such saber-rattling of the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors in south Korea are bringing into bolder relief its true colors as the conservative group keen to prolong its remaining days through confrontation with compatriots.
