The re-enactment will be staged for two days from June 24 off the southern port city of Busan, a navy spokesman said. It will involve about 10 ships, including a 14,000-ton landing ship and a 4,500-ton destroyer, as well as two submarines, a maritime patrol aircraft and helicopters, Yonhap news agency quoted navy officials as saying. The replay comes amid high tensions over the sinking in March of a South Korean warship which Seoul blames on Pyongyang. The war began on June 25, 1950, with a North Korean invasion of the South. On the first day a South Korean navy patrol craft sank an armed North Korean steamer with 600 troops aboard off Busan. "During the event, the navy will fire at a mock North Korean steamer," a navy official was quoted as saying by Yonhap. A multinational investigation concluded last month that a North Korean submarine torpedoed the Cheonan corvette in the Yellow Sea on March 26, killing 46 sailors. North Korea denies involvement and says reprisals announced by the South could trigger war. The South is seeking United Nations condemnation of its communist neighbour. On Monday it presented the findings of the investigation to Security Council members. The council warned both sides against any actions that could escalate regional tension. In Seoul, South Korea's navy chief promised stern retaliation for any new naval provocation by the North. "If North Korean troops stage a provocation again, we must turn the site of the provocation into their grave," Admiral Kim Sung-Chan told naval personnel at a ceremony marking the 11th anniversary of a deadly maritime clash. In the clash along the Yellow Sea border, the first naval battle since the Korean War, a North Korean boat with an estimated 20 sailors aboard was sunk. The North's ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun described the warship incident as a "poor farce" engineered by the United States to create a supposed security crisis in the region. The paper said the aim was to induce the then-Japanese government to drop efforts to relocate the US military base in Okinawa.
