Anniversary of inter-Korean naval battle

A bereaved family member throws a wreath into the sea to pay tribute to seamen killed in action during a ceremony to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, held on the warship Cho Chun-hyung off Pyeongtaek, some 70 kilometers south of Seoul, on June 29, 2022. Six South Korean seamen were killed and 19 others injured in the 2002 inter-Korean skirmish off South Korea's northern Yeonpyeong Island, which broke out as two North Korean patrol boats violated the inter-Korean maritime border in the West Sea.
