"I'm confident that president Lee Myung-bak will handle this appropriately," Mr Rudd said.

The White House has condemned the artillery attack and demanded the action cease.
"The United States strongly condemns this attack and calls on North Korea to halt its belligerent action," the White House said in a statement.
