North Korea has set a no-sail zone in the Yellow Sea off its central west coast apparently for an artillery exercise Cheap Jameer Nelson Jersey , a South Korean military source said Saturday.
"North Korea has designated the sailing ban area around the Seohan bay starting from today until early next week," the source said, noting that the North has previously taken similar actions when conducting artillery exercises.
In May, North Korea declared an off-limits area for ships in the sea off its east coast for four days prior to its test-firing of rockets of 300mm in caliber.
The latest North Korean move comes as the country is seeking government-level talks with South Korea in a dramatic about-face. For months until recently Cheap Dikembe Mutombo Jersey , the North made near-daily war threats while shunning official talks with Seoul.

Lego has won a landmark case in China against two companies that manufactured and sold toys almost identical to its LEGO Friends range but branded Bela, the Danish toymaker said.
It is the first time that Lego has succeeded in a copyright competition case in China, where copies of its colorful bricks and figures have been a recurrent problem as it seeks to gain share in the multibillion-dollar toys and games market.
Earlier this year, the Beijing Higher Court passed a ruling that recognized the Lego logo and name in Chinese as “well-known” trademarks in China Cheap Carmelo Anthony Jersey , putting the toymaker in a better position to act against infringement of its trademarks.
China Shantou Intermediate People’s Court had ruled that certain Bela products infringed upon Lego copyrights and that manufacturing and selling those products constituted “acts of unfair competition,” Lego said yesterday.
The court also decided that Lego is protected under Chinese “anti-unfair competition law” for “the distinctive and unique appearance of certain decorative aspects of its packaging across particular product lines (in this case, LEGO Friends).”
Capturing the imaginations of Chinese children with its bricks is key to reviving growth for the unlisted company after disappointing revenues in its core United States and European markets brought an end to a decade-long sales boom.
Lego, whose name is derived from the Danish “leg godt” meaning “play well Cheap Allen Iverson Jersey ,” is competing with Barbie maker Mattel and Hasbro, the firm behind My Little Pony, for a slice of the Chinese market.
The case was filed against two Chinese firms, which have been manufacturing and selling Bela products almost identical to Lego’s.
“We think this is very important for the continued development of a favorable business environment for all companies operating in the Chinese market Cheap Alex English Jersey ,” said Peter Thorslund Kjaer, Lego’s vice president of legal affairs.

SEOUL, May 11 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's military expressed deep worry Monday about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) 's test-firing of a ballistic missile from its submarine. "Our military is deeply and seriously worried about the underwater test-firing of a ballistic missile conducted by North Korea (DPRK) last week,"Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok told a regular press briefing.
Kim urged Pyongyang to immediately stop developing the submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) that would destabilize the Korean Peninsula and the Northeast Asian region.
The DPRK's official KCNA news agency reported Saturday that it succeeded in test-firing a ballistic missile from a submarine Cheap Wilson Chandler Jersey , which was overseen by top leader Kim Jong Un.
It was believed to be an initial phase of the SLBM, or an underwater launch of a ballistic missile, the spokesman said, noting that it would take four to five years to complete the development given the cases of advanced countries.
The DPRK's SLBM could mean more powerful nuclear threats to the U.S. mainland as well as South Korea because the fully-developed SLBM would mean a DPRK submarine secretly sailing underwater to the U.S. waters and firing ballistic missiles to strike major military facilities and the mainland.
The DPRK's third nuclear test in February 2013 raised concerns for its miniaturizing nuclear devices. If Pyongyang succeeds in producing a nuclear warhead that can be mounted onto the SLBM Cheap Nikola Jokic Jersey , its nuclear operational capability would become a real threat.
While the ICBMs can be detected before launches by surveillance satellites and early warning aircraft, the SLBM is very hard to detect and preemptively strike as the submarine is an underwater weapon that cannot be detected by existing missile defense radars. It could mean an overhaul in South Korea's missile defense system.
Regarding the worry, the spokesman said that the DPRK's submarines can be detected with South Korea's existing surveillance assets and can be tackled with its own submarines and missiles.
Kim, however Cheap Gary Harris Jersey , said that if the DPRK's submarines sail underwater, it would be hard to find where it is, noting that the submarines could be tackled before going underwater.
