North Korea’s military fired about 200 shells near two South Korean islands in the Yellow Sea on Friday morning, forcing residents to take cover in nearby bomb shelters, South Korean officials said.

No one was hurt, the South’s military said. The North Korean rounds — fired between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. local time near the South Korean islands of Baengnyeong and Yeonpyeong — fell into the waters north of the Northern Limit Line, the de facto maritime border between the two Koreas in the Yellow Sea.
