November News for ICON Magazine - North vs. South Korea

North Korea was heavily criticised after firing dozens of artillery shells, killing four people on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong.

This is the first attack on the South in over 60 years claiming that they were carrying out “reckless military provocation.”

American forces provided an aircraft carrier in support of the South Koreans as well as urging North Korea to reconsider their approach. 

This comes just weeks after Kim Jong-il revealed a new uranium enrichment facility and announced his son Kim Jong-un is to be his official successor in when he dies.
