Nov 23 2010, from BBC reports:
Early reports show plumes of smoke emerging from South
Korea's Yeonpyeong
island after North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells
setting more than
60 houses ablaze, killing two South Korean soldiers and
sending civilians fleeing in terror.
In the meantime two more deaths have been confirmed.
The attack, which comes days after it emerged that North
Korea was pressing
ahead with its illegal nuclear programme, marks a serious
further escalation of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The incident is believed to have been sparked by South Korean military
exercises in the area, which the North had objected to.
Officials said "dozens" of artillery rounds had landed on
Yeonpyeong Island at in the Yellow Sea, 50 miles off the
South's northwest coast in an
area close to a disputed sea border. Other reports suggested
around 200
shells could have been fired in the attack which began at
2.34pm local time (7.34am GMT).
The GCP event was set for 6 hours beginning at the time of
the attacks. The result shows Chisquare 21890.196 on 21600
df, for p = 0.082 and Z = 1.393.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical
effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish signal from
noise. This means that every "success" might be largely
driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect
can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
