attacked....!!!

this photo is the result of artillery fire on yeonpyeong island.... which is in south korea....

the island is of the west coast of south korea, and is one of the nearest point in the Yellow Sea to north korea....

today, it was attacked by north korea with artillery fire....

obviously, this isnt the first time that the korean peninsular has come under tension, but this is said to be the biggest attack since the cease fire agreement from the korean war...

also incidents with the north have started to pick up in the severity with the sinking of the korean warship earlier this year in march, kllling 56 soldiers from the south korean navy. i dont think i put that up on my blog because it happened the day before my sister's wedding in korea.... which meant... only happy news at the time~ ^^

well, this was the 2nd attack this year.... a large scale one again... and the 7 month gap between attacks is making a few people here a bit worried..... the handover of the communist regime is said to be one of the major issues, with kim jong il's son being trained to lead, and being made to earn his stripes before he takes over the regime.... scary isnt it?

this isnt the first time, and im certain this wont be the last either.... i guess we'll just have to see.... i think everyone can sense that there is so much more politics and secrets behind the scene that people arent aware of.....

i dunno....
