South Korea Fires Warning Shots at North Korean Vessel Crossing Maritime Border
South Koreaâs military confirmed that it fired warning shots early today after a North Korean commercial vessel crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea.
The incident occurred around 5 a.m. near Baengnyeong Island, a sensitive maritime area that has been the site of repeated clashes between the two Koreas. Officials said the South Korean Navy first issued audio warnings, and when the vessel failed to comply, warning shots were fired. The North Korean ship then retreated back across the boundary.
The NLL serves as the de facto maritime border between the two Koreas, but Pyongyang has never formally recognized it, often leading to heightened tensions in the region. Analysts warn that such incidents highlight the fragile security environment in the Yellow Sea and the risk of escalation.

Trump Vows He Will Prevent Israel from Annexing the West Bank
Today, U.S. President Donald Trump stated unequivocally that he will not permit Israel to annex the occupied West Bank. Speaking from the Oval Office, he said to reporters: âI will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. Itâs not going to happen.âÂ
Trumpâs comments come amid rising calls from far-right elements in Israelâs government to formalize annexation of parts of the territory. Several Arab countries and international actors have publicly warned that annexation would undermine hopes for a two-state solution and provoke serious diplomatic consequences.Â
He also noted that he has discussed the matter directly with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insisting that annexation plans must stop. âThereâs been enough. Itâs time to stop now,â Trump added.Â
Analysts suggest this marks one of the clearest limitations yet on Israeli policy from the Trump administration, especially given Trumpâs historically strong alignment with Israeli leadership. The declaration may impact internal Israeli coalition dynamics, international diplomacy, and the peace process debates around Palestinian statehood.Â
