SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired artillery rounds Friday near its disputed sea boundary with South Korea in violation of a fragile 2018 military agreement, officials said, prompting the South to plan similar drills.North Korea’s front-line maritime firing exercise was the first of its kind in about a year. Experts say North Korea will likely intensify a run of weapons tests in the coming months, escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula ahead of the South’s parliamentary elections in April and the United States presidential election in November. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea fired 200 rounds in the waters north of their disputed western sea boundary. It said South Korea suffered no damages. Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson Lee Sung Joon told a televised briefing that the North’s artillery firing was “an act of provocation that threatens peace and heightens tensions on the Korean Peninsula.” Lee said South Korea strongly urges N...Farmers prevent Germany’s vice chancellor leaving a ferry in a protest that draws condemnation

BERLIN (AP) — A group of farmers prevented Germany’s vice chancellor from disembarking a ferry, hours after the government partially climbed down on cost-saving plans that had infuriated the agricultural sector. The protest drew condemnation from both government and opposition figures.Police said the farmers blocked a jetty in Schluettsiel on the North Sea coast Thursday evening and Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck had to return to the small island of Hooge, German news agency dpa reported. They said Friday that Habeck, a member of the environmentalist Green party who is also economy and climate minister, reached the mainland on another ferry during the night.More than 100 people took part in the blockade and pepper spray was used by the roughly 30 officers who were deployed, police said.Chancellor OIaf Scholz’s unpopular government angered farmers last month by announcing plans to cut agricultural subsidies as part of a package to fill a 17 billion-euro ($18.6 billion) hol...Japanese air safety experts search for voice data from plane debris after runway collision
