Artillery fire cut deadly silence. by Milota Sidorova

Clouds of fire and smoke reached highs over Yeonpyeong island on Tuesday. The island with more than 1,700 civilians and South Korean military base became a target of artillery fire lasting for about an hour. Unfortunate brother nations of Korean Island met in perhaps the „gravest“ conflict since the Korean war in 1950's. The fire came from both sides after South Korea refused to stop its military exercises near the disputed border. The answer from communist Party ridden North Korea was sharp warning Seoul from more military strikes if the border would be crossed by „even 0.0001 millimeter“. Though tensions between North and South are regular and som! ewhat never exceeding a certain level of involuntary „tolerance“, this strike was different – the fire came from both sides and shots targeted also civilian objects. Residents of Yeonpyeong escaped into 20 temporary shelters. Incident created an avalanche of international consequences, though they may not be visible for now, but the major attention now focus on two powers – U.S. and China. U.S. clearly took a side of Seoul with some media citing President Obama's outrage to North Korea actions. So far, international media suggested U.S. was planning further military actions along with South Korea againt Pyongyang. China, being in close military or ideological relationships with both countries hasn't chosen a side, aiming for „peace“. South Korea now turns also on U.N. Sanctions against North Korea. Pyongyang was blamed for sinking down South Korean boat in the spring, killing all 42 staff on the board. Another threat is its nuclear progr! am. Pyongyang is not trying to cover that and send it out of d! iscussio ns and while Seoul pushes hard U.N. to imply third round of sanctions on North Korea, Pyongyang can be safe for now, because even if U.N. agree on that, China has a right of veto to stop the process.
