SEOUL — A North Korean naval ship suffered heavy damage today during an exchange of gunfire between the two Koreas along a disputed sea border off their western coasts, officials said.
There were no reports of casualties, but the North Korean vessel reportedly turned and headed for port after the clash.
The North Korean vessel crossed a demarcation line into southern waters about 10:30 a.m., prompting a South Korean warship to fire several warning shots, according to a news release from the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.
