North Korea continues to fire hundreds of artillery rounds near its disputed sea border with South Korea.
The hermit kingdom conducted another round of artillery drills on Saturday following the previous day’s exercises that sparked panic in regions of its southern neighbor.
South Korean intelligence estimates approximately 200 shells fired into the area on Friday and an additional 60 on Saturday.
