Seoul: North and South Korea fired artillery shells into each other’s waters Monday, forcing people on five South Korean islands on the frontline to evacuate their homes, the media reported.

South Korea said it fired shells into North Korean waters in response to live fire drills carried out by Pyongyang, Sky News reported, adding that North Korea fired more than 500 rounds during a three-hour drill. “If the North takes issue with our legitimate returning of fire and uses it to make yet another provocation towards our sea and islands, we will make a resolute retaliation,” a South Korea official said.
