Korean skirmish started as a South Korean/USA military drill

The skirmish began when Pyongyang warned the South to halt military drills in the area, according to South Korean officials.

When Seoul refused and began firing artillery into disputed waters, albeit away from the North Korean shore, the North retaliated by bombarding the small island of Yeonpyeong, which houses South Korean military installations and a small civilian population.

70,000 SOUTH Korean troops plus some U.S. "advisers" were taking part in an Invade NORTH Korea drill at the time.
