Tensions Escalate in the Koreas




South Korea's military staged live-fire drills from an island just miles (kilometers) from rival North Korea's shores Monday, despite Pyongyang's threats of catastrophic retaliation for the maneuvers.
Seoul launched fighter jets, evacuated hundreds of people away from its tense land border with the North and sent residents of front-line islands into underground bunkers in case of attack, but the North finally said it would hold its own fire.
