North Korea fired
around 130 artillery shells into the sea off its east and west coasts on
Monday, South Korea's military said, in the latest apparent military drill near
their shared border.
Some of the shells landed in a buffer zone near the sea
border in what Seoul said was a violation of a 2018 inter-Korean agreement
designed to reduce tensions.
The South Korean military sent several warning
communications to the North over the firing, the ministry of defence said in a
statement.
North Korea did not immediately report on the artillery
fire, but it has been carrying out an increasing number of military activities,
including missile launches and drills by warplanes and artillery units.
South Korea and the United States have also stepped up
military drills this year, saying they are necessary to deter the nuclear-armed
North.
The 2018 Comprehensive Military Agreement (CMA) was the most
substantive deal to come from the months of meetings between leader Kim Jong Un
and then-South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
With those talks long stalled, however, recent drills and
shows of force along the fortified border between the Koreas have cast doubts
on the future of the measures. South Korea has accused the North of repeatedly
violating the agreement with artillery drills this year.
This year North Korea resumed testing of its long-range
intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) for the first time since 2017, and
South Korea and the United States say it has made preparations to resume
nuclear testing as well.
