Warning shots fired as reunions continue

By Agencies in Seoul | China Daily | Updated: 2015-10-26 07:58

The Republic of Korea fired warning shots on Saturday at a patrol boat from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported on Sunday, citing military officials.

The incident happened at about 3:30 pm local time on Saturday, as a reunion continued for families separated by the Korean War (1950-53), a sign of a thaw in inter-Korean relations.

The DPRK ship violated the northern limit line, which Pyongyang has never accepted as a sea boundary because it was drawn by US-led forces after an armistice.
