Starting from the first of November,... North Korea is set to halt all forms of live-fire artillery drills and close gun ports along the Northern Limit Line,... the de facto sea border between the two Koreas. <br /> Such measures come as South and North Korea agreed to establish maritime buffer zones,... in accordance with the military accord the two sides signed last month in Pyeongyang. <br />Along its western coast,... the North has some one-thousand gun ports and numerous artilleries with a maximum range of 27 kilometers. <br />
