"SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- South Korea scrambled two fighter jets and readied anti-aircraft missile batteries after a North Korean MiG fighter briefly intruded into its airspace, defense officials in Seoul say.
The incident, which took place at around 1003 local time Thursday (0103 GMT), comes at a time of increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula and sent the South's armed forced into high alert. The North Korean MiG-19 flew past the northern limit line over the Yellow Sea near South Korea's Yongpyong Island." While this has happened before in years past when NK jets flew across the border, this is not the way to calm down tensions. If it happens again I'm not sure if SK will hold it's fire. Expect some angry exchanges over the day or two between the Koreas.

Sounds like they want to prove something.
