And then SK's counterfire killed one person? Didn't they counterfire to kill? I don't really understand why these were so ineffective. Unless they were just scare tactics.
EDIT: 2 civilians and 2 soldiers, so 4 dead on SK
Indiscriminate artillery fire on a small, sparsely inhabited island and a quick counterstrike against some turrets won't result in casualties on the same scale as bombing say, Seoul would.

Yes, that's it. That documentary is a hella lot scarier than the one people are posting. I just finished watching the other one... It's a lot more chill than this one, but that's because this one really shows what's going on in NK.

(CNN) -- North Korea claimed Tuesday that it is has "thousands of centrifuges" working to create nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The claim printed in North Korea's state-run KCNA news service comes just a week after North Korean shelled a South Korean Island killing four people.
"The construction of light water reactor is brisk in the DPRK and a modern factory for uranium enrichment equipped with thousands of centrifuges is operating to supply fuel to them. The development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes to meet the need for electricity will be stepped up in the future," the news service report said.
The North Korean news service report seemed to confirm parts of a statement made last week by Siegfried Hecker, a Stanford University scientist.
In early Novermber, the U.S. scientist said he visited a North Korean nuclear facility at the invitation of the government, which included 2,000 centrifuges, that was producing low-enriched uranium.
Hecker said he was told that facility was configured to produce low-enriched uranium but Hecker wrote that it could "be readily converted to produce highly-enriched uranium (HEU) bomb fuel.
This is from memory, don't think this is fully accurate:
In Dilbert long ago, there was a story about the impoverished nation of Elbonia. In this story, Elbonia accidentally blew up a French embassy, and the French declared war on Elbonia. The French proceeded to shell the crap out of Elbonia...until they realized that all they were doing was destroying a whole bunch of mud huts.
The Elbonians collected the shell fragments, melted them into scrap metal, then exported it, tripling their GDP overnight. Then the Elbonians tried to provoke another war by standing in front of the new French embassy and insulting everyone who walked out.

There's another good documentary, "Yodok Stories" about a concentration camp in Yodok. There are several interviews with people who managed to escape/survive it; one of them was a guardsman of Kim Jong Il himself. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any free streams. You could google it some more, though.
SEOUL, Dec. 1 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's military has deployed surface-to-air missiles on a border island attacked by North Korea in a fatal bombardment last week, as part of efforts to beef up defense readiness on the Yellow Sea island, a military source said Wednesday.
So now both Koreas have their missile firing units at the borders. South Korea is also preparing to do more live fire test drills with artillery in the upcoming week. Last time these are what caused NK to fire, so they'll be on watch and ready to retaliate. It's still a very tense situation.
