South Korea's defense ministry said North Korea violated a 2018 military agreement on Friday when it fired hundreds of artillery rounds along the sea boundary between the sovereign countries.
Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson Lee Sung Joon said the North's artillery firing was "an act of provocation that threatens peace and heightens tensions on the Korean Peninsula." South Korea also urged North Korea to stop further provocations.
The North’s front-line maritime firing exercise was the first of its kind in about a year, escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
