South Korea immediately issued an evacuation warning to civilians on the island, but is yet to confirm if it's connected to the shelling.
The South has condemned the move, calling it a "provocative act".
There are no casualties among South Korean civilians or military.
In 2010, North Korean artillery fired scores of times on Yeonpyeong island, killing four people.

No damage was reported from South Korea due to the firings and the shells landed north of the Northern Limit Line (NLL), the de facto sea boundary between the two Koreas, it said.
