Reactions from Korea

A national paper is getting hawkish:
Our military should be ready to counterattack without hesitation so as not to allow the North to commit this action again, even to the point of destroying the artillery squad that it has positioned along the tense western seacoast.

This provocation justifies any retaliation by us. Considering the possibility of additional provocations down the road, our military should be prepared to the utmost level to launch counterattacks strong enough to prevent any more provocations, and if necessary, it should put the preparation into action immediately.

Another, the Korea Herald, is slightly more cautious:
Yet while it is necessary to respond sternly to the North’s provocation, Seoul officials should always keep a level head. They should make sure that they do not play into the hands of the evil regime in the North. For their part, the public needs to brace for the North’s continued belligerent action down the road. They need to be prepared to cope with emergencies resolutely and with composure. Politicians should stop partisan bickering and help the nation overcome a national crisis in unity.
