SOUTH KOREA SOLDIERS fired warning shots at a suspected North Korean drone today that crossed the tense border, the defence ministry said.
The unidentified aerial vehicle flew across the border and encroached into South Korean territory by some “tens of metres”, the defence ministry said.
The incursion occurred near South Korea’s Mount Dora Observation Post, some 47 kilometres north of Seoul, at 2:10 pm (05:10 GMT).
South Korean soldiers responded by sounding broadcasts and firing warning shots before “the vehicle immediately returned to the north,” the ministry said.
Yonhap news agency said about 20 rounds had been fired as warning shots from a machine gun.
South Korean President Park Geun-Hye has urged the international community, and in particular China, to ensure that North Korea receives the strongest possible punishment for its latest nuclear test.
Her comments came as North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un defiantly told his scientists to swell the size of the country’s nuclear arsenal with more powerful bombs capable of striking the United States.
Describing last week’s test as a gross provocation and an “unacceptable challenge” to global peace and security, Park said it was time to adopt a harsher line with the recalcitrant regime in Pyongyang.
“The international community’s countermeasures against North Korea’s last nuclear test must differ from the past,” Park told an annual press conference.
As well as working with the United Nations to adopt the “strongest” resolution to penalise North Korea, Seoul would also discuss additional “punitive sanctions” with the United States and its allies, Park said.
The president stressed that China, North Korea’s main ally and economic benefactor, would be critical in securing an effective Security Council resolution.
Can’t they just sell some bitcoins to cover the losses
No because they claim all BTC have been stolen, but they got hacked and database leak says otherwise
It’s all fugazi
My advice if you have a few bob spare is invest one weekends drink money in lite coins. Created by Google engineers its an alternative to bit coin and a couple of years behind it. When you consider a bit coin was what a few euro and jumped up to 700 or so at one point. A lite coin is about 11 euro a coin. If anything you cash out in months with what you invest I do see it climbing.
You could mine then but jesus its painful and even if you have best pc its not worth it
I got 2,200 xrp free – ripple. Waiting to see what happens. Sat on my free mined bitcoins for a couple of years thinking they would never be worth anything, how wrong I was :)
Thanks. Going to look into that.
Do check it out :) mining a bit coin your talking years to wsrn one coin in which case you fried a few gpu’s and a esb bill of small country. They are expensive to but also hundred for one.
That’s why I think lite coins could work. Would you really miss €100 next year if it falls apart but could get nice little return. There is few sites where you can see how much bit and lite coins ate trafing against $£€
@eye c u depends on the hashing power you have. If you have a knc 2 terrahash miner you will mine a couple of bitcoins a year at current difficulty. Scrypt based coins like litecoin/dogecoin are cheaper for the average person to get involved in. BTW you never told us how you got those scars?
From dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. I told you that last week.
The sooner this renegade stops dragging out its 15 minutes the better it’ll be for Bitcoin as a whole!
You just have to love the word “allegedly”!
have your say
