However this time it was not artillery shells that were landing, but people.
31 North Korean civilians arrived at Yeonpyeong Island via fishing boat on Saturday, Korean local time. The new arrivals were all promptly transported to Incheon, mainland South Korea, for questioning.
Early reports from an anonymous source within the ROK government suggested that the North Koreans wished to defect. However, the government later released an official statement declaring that the North Koreans had not expressed any desire to defect.
How the North Koreans managed to travel across the Northern Limit Line unscathed is currently a topic of great interest for South Korean authorities.
