South Korea's Defence Ministry said on Monday artillery drills by North Korea near a disputed sea boundary were "regrettable" and violate last year’s inter-Korean deals aimed at lowering military animosities in border areas.

Spokeswoman Choi Hyun-soo told reporters that North Korea must stop any acts that can increase military tensions in front-line areas and abide by the 2018 tension-reduction agreements. The North’s Korean Central News Agency said that the firing happened when Kim inspected a military unit on Changrin Islet off the west coast. This is Kim's third reported visit to a military base after his attendance in an air show in mid-November.
