The United Nations Security Council gathered for an emergency talks to decrease the tension between Koreans. But the talks ended without any agreement.

South Korea on Monday, Dec 20, told everyone in Yeonpyeong and adjacent islands to get into air-attack shelters. Knowing this, North Korea has warned, if South Korea executes the artillery attack plan then it should be ready to face a catastrophic effects.

Russian UN envoy Vitaly Churkin came out from hours of discussion and told reporters, “Security Council cannot agree on a statement from two Koreans to exercises extreme restraint."
