The incident further escalates regional tensions, following North Korea's recent ballistic missile tests and heightened military activities.
Pyongyang disputes the NLL, established after the Korean War, and views ongoing joint military exercises by South Korea and the U.S. as provocative.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently ordered strengthening war deterrence in a "more practical and offensive" manner to counter perceived aggression from the U.S. and South Korea.

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.
