Naval incident between North Korea and South Korea

The Battle of Yeonpyeong, also known as the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, was a confrontation at sea between North Korean and South Korean patrol boats along a disputed maritime boundary near Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea in 2002. This followed a similar confrontation in 1999. Two North Korean patrol boats crossed the contested border and engaged two South Korean Chamsuri-class patrol boats.
