S Korea tells islanders to take shelter

People on a South Korean island shelled last week by North Korea were ordered Sunday to take shelter in bunkers, an AFP photographer said.

The reason for the military's loudspeaker order was not immediately clear. Dozens of reporters were on Yeonpyeong, along with a number of residents.

Hundreds more residents fled to the mainland after the North bombarded the island last Tuesday, killing two civilians and two marines and setting homes ablaze.
