 "NKorea threatens to attack SKorea over drills")
Seoul: North Korea has threatened to attack South Korea accusing it of planning live-fire drills near their disputed sea border. The North’s military said in a statement Sunday that South Korea planned artillery drills from five front-line islands off the western coast on Monday. It says the drills are “reckless military provocation” and the North will launch “merciless” strikes if the training is implemented.
