SEOUL (AP) – South Korea’s military has canceled a live-fire artillery exercise planned for today on the frontline island targeted last week by a deadly North Korean bombardment.

Officials from South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters yesterday that the plans to fire artillery rounds into waters southwest of Yeonpyeong Island have been canceled.

The military did not give a reason for the cancellation.

Similar live-fire maneuvers by South Korean troops one week ago triggered the North’s bombardment that decimated parts of Yeonpyeong and killed four people.
