Anniversary of inter-Korean naval battle
Crew members of the warship Yoon Young-ha throw flowers into the sea to pay tribute to seamen killed in action during a ceremony to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, held on the warship off Pyeongtaek, some 70 kilometers south of Seoul, on June 29, 2022. Six South Korean seamen were killed and 19 others injured in the 2002 inter-Korean skirmish off South Korea's northern Yeonpyeong Island, which broke out as two North Korean patrol boats violated the inter-Korean maritime border in the West Sea.
