Shelling of Yeonpyeong

Since the signing of armistice between the United Nations and North Korea, the North Koreans have disputed the western maritime border claimed by South Korea called the Northern Limit Line. Instead of recognizing the Northern Limit Line, the North Korean government claims a border further South that encompasses lush fishing grounds as well as several South Korean held islands including Yeonpyeong. In an effort to assert its territorial claims the North Koreans throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s made several incursions south of the Northern Limit Line sparking a naval battle near the island of Yeonpyeong in 1999 as well as another engagement in the same area in 2002.[2] Although there were no further serious clashes for a time, in 2009 increasing tensions along the disputed border led to a naval battle near the island of Daecheong and accusations that a North Korean submarine has sunk the South Korean corvette Cheonan off Baengnyeong Island
