The South Korean navy has fired warning shots at North Korean fishing boats that crossed disputed borders in the Yellow Sea, reports say.

No shots hit the vessels which retreated, said an Associated Press report citing an unnamed official with South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The official also said that no North Korean navy ships were involved.

Skirmishes are common in the area claimed by both sides on the Korean peninsula.

A South Korean defence ministry spokesman told AFP news that there were six North Korean boats.

"Our naval patrol boats twice fired machine gun rounds at the fishing vessels. Afterwards the North Korean vessels retreated to their territory," the unnamed official said.

I doubt that there could be North Korean "fishing ships" in South Korean waters without the participation of the North Korean People's Army and the approval of the Communist party and the leaders of the country.

You can call me paranoid

The great leader already ate all the fish in N. Korean waters so they went pillaging into the south.

They turned back after Putin almost nuked Pyongyang after Kim Jong Un ate the 500kg merling Putin once wrestled barechested

"These fish are not productive enough, this factory's production quota is down by fifteen percent! Take half out the back and have them shot, and cut the rations of the other half, this will increase their production! This one here will be tortured before it is shot for making fishy faces at me!!"

"Errr...yes...Dear leader..."
