By Sam Kim
SEOUL, Nov. 10 (Yonhap) -- The divided Koreas clashed Tuesday off their west coast, with no South Korean casualties immediately reported while a North Korean vessel apparently suffered damage, a South Korean defense official said.

"No South Korean casualties were immediately reported," the official said, adding a North Korean patrol ship prompted the South Korean Navy to fire warning shots after crossing the Northern Limit Line (NLL) where skirmishes turned bloody in 1999 and 2002.

"The North Koreans then fired back," he said, adding the clash occurred at 11:28 a.m. near Baekryeong island.

"The North appears to have suffered damage," the official said, declining to be identified because the information was preliminary.

North Korea disputes the NLL, drawn by a U.S. general at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War that ended in a truce.

7. No Biggie. They do that from time to time.

Kim may be crazy but he isn't stupid. He knows that NK would get its ass kicked in a war.
