Koreas’ navy ships exchange fire
SOUTH KOREA — Navy ships of the two Koreas exchanged fire Tuesday along their disputed western sea border, South Korean military officers said. A South Korean warship shot at a North Korean navy ship that crossed the disputed western sea border Tuesday morning, and the North’s ship shot back, said an officer at Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. Another officer said there were no South Korean casualties, though it was unclear whether there were any on the North Korean side. Both officers spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department policy. Navies of the two Koreas fought deadly skirmishes along the western sea border in 1999 and 2002. — The Associated PressOfficials: Abducted American freeMEXICO — Prosecutors in the state of Baja California say they freed a U.S. citizen who was kidnapped last week near the border.
