        • YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea - South Korea said fresh artillery shots were heard Friday on this Yellow Sea island, three days after it was devastated by a North Korean attack and hours after Pyongyang warned that the peninsula was on the brink of war.
        • The blasts happened just after the top U.S. commander in South Korea, Gen. Walter Sharp, toured Yeonpyeong island in a show of solidarity with Seoul and to survey damage from the Tuesday's hail of North Korean artillery fire that killed four people.
        • An official at the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said several new rounds of artillery fire were heard Friday on Yeonpyeong, which is just 7 miles (11 kilometers) south of the North Korean mainland.

          • It was not immediately clear if the artillery sounds were coming from North Korea or from the island.
          • The sounds came as the North warned Friday that U.S.-South Korean military drills planned for this weekend are pushing the peninsula to the brink of war, and after a U.S. military commander toured the wreckage of island communities devastated by a North Korean artillery barrage on Tuesday.
