North Korea on Tuesday fired dozens of artillery shells at a South Korean island, setting buildings on fire and prompting a return of fire by the South, Seoul's military and media reports said.

A witness said residents of the island of Yeonpyeong, off the west coast of the peninsula near a disputed maritime border, had been evacuated.

Yonhap news agency said four South Korean soldiers had been wounded in the shelling, the biggest attack in years.

Could they just stop dicking around and go to war already? It's a foregone conclusion at this point, might as well do it before the North learns to build a bomb that won't fizzle out on them.

To be fair, according to the North Koreans, they shelled their own island, that has an illegal ROK military facility on it.

They never recognized the Northern Line, and said this would happen if they went through with live fire war games up there.

An interesting point, though hardly what I'd deem a good-enough reason to risk a war with the South.
