Seoul goes ahead with firing drill despite war threat
None
South Korea launched live firing drills in a disputed area on Monday despite threats of war from Pyongyang after an emergency UN Security Council meeting failed to agree on how to defuse the crisis.
South Korea's military confirmed the drill, delayed from the weekend by bad weather, had begun at 5:30 GMT. The rumble of artillery fire echoed through air raid bunkers on the island of Yeonpyeong where the exercise was being held. (Reuters)
