North, South Korea trade warning shots on maritime border

14 Sept 10:28 Key points summarised by AI

South Korea fired warning shots at a North Korean merchant vessel for crossing the disputed Northern Limit Line, prompting North Korea to return fire.
Pyongyang claimed a South Korean military vessel had 'invaded' its de facto border and retaliated by firing 10 warning rounds from multiple rocket launchers.
This exchange further escalates heightened tensions between the two Koreas, following North Korea's recent series of missile launches and military exercises.
The incident occurs as the US Deputy Secretary of State is scheduled to hold trilateral talks with Japan and South Korea in Tokyo to discuss regional security.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
