(AP Photo/Yonhap, Kim Ju-sung) Artillery fire has once again been exchanged around the disputed maritime border between North and South Korea. The South Korean military says it fired three artillery rounds into North Korea waters after three shells from the North landed close to the border, Bloomberg reports.
