NKorea warns of attack after SKorea joins drill

Quote:
SEOUL: North Korea Wednesday blasted South Korea's decision to join a US-led anti-proliferation exercise as tantamount to a declaration of war, and threatened an attack if any of its ships are stopped.

The communist state's powerful military declared it is no longer bound by the armistice which ended the 1950-53 war on the peninsula.

I am assuming this is just talk, supposedly NK has done this many times in the past but naval encounters between NK and SK would not be surprising.

I wouldn't. This has gone way beyond saber-rattling and my buddy who works in SK as a NK intel analyst has gone silent on me.
