North Korea attacked Yeonpyoeng Island of South Korea, without notice. The attack started around 2:34PM, Nov. 23.
2 soldiers and 2 civilians died due to the bombing of North Korea.
The civilians of South Korea were outraged by the North Korea's provocativeness and the late response of the government.
Also, the government delivered false information on how many bombs the North Korea used and this mistake made the civilians get angry even more. In first place, they announced that the North Korea used 80 bombs, but later, they fixed it to 170 bombs in total.
In response, the South Korea used 80 bombs as a revenge.
As it is explained in the article, the people in South Korea don't want war against North Korea. War won't bring any benefits to both countries;it's just going to make the wound deeper. In my opinion, the stronger ones should control their temper and they shouldn't create a problem.
