Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust got an AP notice on my phone that NK fired a few shots at South Korean guard tower...
SK fired a coupe of shots back as a warning. Nobody hurt.
This isn't good, but maybe not bad if that's all that happens.

Fired several bullets and no one was injured? This sounds flaky. Hope it doesn't expand.

If her brother is dead, it would make sense for the sister to make the public believe that he is alive, until she see who her rivals for power are and have them killed. Some say that she is as bad as her brother, I would hope not, but to maintain power if he is dead, she likely will need to be ruthless, given that country.

I recall a similar story two years ago.
