North Korea fired more than 100 artillery rounds Monday on its side of the border with South Korea in the Yellow Sea, South Korea's Defense Ministry said.

South Korean troops fired artillery and dropped sonar buoys into the Yellow Sea as naval drills kicked off Thursday near the spot where a warship sank four months ago.

The East Sea off the coast of the Korean peninsula roiled with U.S. and South Korean military hardware — high-profile maneuvers intended to show North Korea that it is being watched.

North Korea's army said Monday it is ready to "blow up" South Korea and the U.S., hours after the allies kicked off annual military drills that Pyongyang has slammed as a rehearsal for attack.
