Indigo_Flow: North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells onto a South Korean island on Tuesday, killing two people, setting homes ablaze and triggering an exchange of fire as the South's military went on top alert.
In what appeared to be one of the most serious border incidents since the 1950-53 war, South Korean troops fired back with cannon, the government convened in an underground war room and "multiple" air force jets scrambled.
North Korea's military supreme command, however, accused South Korea of firing first and vowed "to quell provocative actions with a merciless thunderbolt".
The shelling began at 2.34pm local time on Tuesday (1634 AEDT) after the North sent several messages protesting about South Korean naval, air force and army training exercises being staged close to the border, a presidential spokesman said.
South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak convened an emergency meeting of ministers and national security advisers in an underground war room, a presidential spokesman said.
Lee urged the officials "to prevent further escalation", but his office also warned that South Korea would "sternly retaliate" for any further provocations.
Inter-Korean talks scheduled for Thursday, aimed at arranging further reunions of families separated by the war, have been delayed indefinitely, Seoul's unification ministry said.

To be honest, I have always thought that the next areas of 'conflict' would be either North Korea or Iran...in that order.
Lets just hope it won't turn into another Vietnam scenario.

Giving this some thought from the Americna perspective. If I was President Obama on the SKorean request for tactical nuclear weapons.
I would check the satellite and aerial imagery around the DMZ and into NKorea....if I saw massing Nkorean units......my signature is on a executive order to send the tactical nuc to SKorea.
Just sending them, does not mean that they are going to be used or even deployed. But with only 30 miles between Soul and the DMZ....there is not much time here to engage a invasion.
The SKoreans would not have requested them unless they had evidence of massing troops in NKorea.
This is the one that makes you grow older by the minute and all the contingency planning in the last 50 years can get tossed out the window in a minute.
I hope he get it right....
