North Korea has designated another two “firing zones” near its disputed Yellow Sea border with South Korea, raising the prospect of more artillery fire, Seoul officials said Wednesday.

A Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesman told AFP the two new “maritime firing zones” would be effective for four days from Friday.

The spokesman said the South’s military is closely watching for possible artillery fire off Baengnyeong and Daecheong islands near the Northern Limit Line sea border.

After declaring two “no sail” zones, the communist state last week fired 370 shells into the sea near the border over three days, heightening tensions on the Korean peninsula.
