South Korea scrambled their fighter jets and immediately returned fire with their own artillery batteries. Vicious air strikes sought out the source of the offending artillery and destroyed them with extreme prejudice. Additionally over a dozen strategic targets were subsequently targeted and destroyed by South Korea. The military of the southern nation has begun preliminary mobilization to ensure that, should North Korea not capitulate immediately, they are prepared for the ensuing war.
This is perhaps overshadowed by the masterful stroke performed by the US. In a display of military might and domination over North Korea, the US launched a small, precise barrage of cruise missiles at various sites throughout the Communist nation. These targeted structures of cultural significance, such as prominent monuments to the North Korean dictator, as well as completely destroying the residence that the dictator had slept at the night before. The message sent was clear. "We can strike you anywhere, at anytime, and you cannot stop us."
Oh, wait. Sorry. I accidentally picked up the news ticker for the wrong universe. That one was from the Bizarro world where artillery strikes on sovereign soil are kind of a big deal. I apologize for the inconvenience. Here's the real story.
South Korea responded by shooting a few dozen artillery shells back at the North Koreans, with undisclosed effect. The US, China, and Russia all collectively shook their fingers at Kim Jong Il, saying with one unified voice: "Bad! Bad Kim!"
The UN Security Council will be meeting immediately this week, where they will propose stiff penalties on Korea, have those penalties immediately vetoed by China, and in the end issue a very sternly worded memo telling North Korea they must stop these actions immediately or face even more sternly worded memos. Below is a picture of Kim after he reads the memo.
