Korean
Naval Battle
(November,
2009)
The Korean War (1950-1953) officially never really
ended. The warr's major fighting ended with an armistice
signed on July 27, 1953 between North Korea and its foes,
South Korea and the United Nations. Over the 50-plus
years, numerous border battles, naval clashes, incidents,
espionage thrillers, assassination attempts, and
terrorist acts have occurred between North and South
Korea, often involving American forces as well.
The most volatile part of the Korean border is western
sea-border, which is very much in dispute between Seoul
and Pyongyang.
On November 09, 2009, a North Korean naval vessel
entered South Korean waters, refused to return to the
North, and then was brought under fire by the South
Korean navy. The North Korean ship was partially
destroyed, and managed to escape back across the Naval
Limit Line, which is the sea-border between the Koreas.
Perhaps not coincidentally, the Northern incursion came
only days before U.S. President Barack Obama was due to
visite East Asia. It is common for the Pyongyang regime
to seek attention from the U.S. and from the world as a
whole in order to put it's own agenda on the table and to
force other nations to deal with North Korea.
The naval battle took place near the South Korean-held
island of Daecheong-do, 125 miles west of the South
Korean capital of Seoul. The island is located ja mere 18
miles from the North Korean coast. North Korea reported
one sailor died in the clash while three others were
wounded.
