Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea (AFP) Nov 28, 2010 Artillery fire was heard near a South Korean border island on Sunday soon after people there were ordered to take shelter in bunkers, reports said.

The photographer said he was sharing a bunker with military and police officers, residents and reporters following the loudspeaker warning. Hundreds of other villagers fled after last week's shelling, which raised tensions worldwide.
