Evidently a South Korean ship has fired a torpedo at an un named vessel causing damage and loss of life.

Just saw this, early rumors are that the South Korean ship that is sinking was torpedoed by an unidentified craft. Hopefully the crew will swiftly get rescued
Was it by a North Korean sub. If so I think that'd be only the third aggressive sinking of a ship by a sub since WW2, and the first since the British sunk the General Belgrano almost 30 years ago.

So, as I understand it, a ROK naval vessel sinks mysteriously with 100 men onboard, and later another South Korean ship fires on a mysterious vessel to the north as a result?
This is suspicious even by DPRK standards...

Hopefully it'll stop at one ship and not spread to the mainland. The way things have been lately, I wouldn't put it past the idiots in Pyongyang to push their luck.

I notice they aren't mentioning exactly which and what kind of ship it is that sank...
By the tonnage listed I would suspect it some class of corvette.
