SK President Lee warns of ‘merciless’ strike if attacked
South Korea conducted a major military exercise just 20km short of the border with North Korea, sparking criticism from Pyongyang and concern among regional powers that it will further heighten tension on the Korean peninsula…
Mr Lee said the military should launch a “merciless counterattack” if the North carries out further assaults like the Yeonpyeong incident, which caught South Koreans off guard. He added that South Korea must remain vigilant saying: “We had believed patience would ensure peace on this land, but that was not the case.”
