Credit: Reuters/Ha Sa-Hun/Yonhap By Jeremy Laurence and Yoo Choonsik SEOUL | Thu Nov 25, 2010 2:30am EST SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea said on Thursday it would increase troops on islands near North Korea with Pyongyang warning it would follow its bombardment earlier in the week with more attacks if its wealthy neighbor tried any "provocations." The sudden spike in tension in the world's fastest growing economic region is putting mounting pressure on China to rein in its prickly ally. South Korean media reports said Tuesday's artillery attack was likely personally ordered by reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "(North Korea) will wage second and even third rounds of attacks without any hesitation, if warmongers in South Korea make reckless military provocations again," the North's KCNA news agency, using typically bellicose language, quoted a statement from the military as saying. "The U.S. cannot evade the blame for the recent shelling," it added. "If the U.S. truly desires detente on the Korean peninsula, it should not thoughtlessly shelter the South Korean puppet forces but strictly control them so that they may not commit any more adventurous military provocations." The United States and South Korea are to hold joint military exercises next week, with the aircraft carrier USS George Washington participating, although KCNA made no mention of that. "Over telephone talks with Secretary (of State) Hillary Clinton, we agreed that through the drill, we will be able to ...send a clear message to the North in relation to the recent situation," a South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said. North Korean leader Kim and his son and designated heir, Jong-un, visited the Yellow Sea coastal artillery base from where shells were fired at a South Korean island near the disputed maritime boundary just hours before the attack, newspapers in Seoul said. South Korea's military was "focusing on the possibility of Kim Jong-il and his son approving the shelling of Yeonpyeong," the Chosun Ilbo quoted an unnamed member of the National Assembly's Defense Committee as saying. The government declined comment but, if correct, would rule out one theory that the North's bombardment of Yeonpyeong, just south of the disputed border, might have been the decision of a rogue military commander. At least four people, including two civilians, were killed and dozens of houses destroyed on the island in the heaviest attack by the North since the Korean War ended in 1953. EMERGENCY MEETING It marked the first civilian deaths in an assault since the bombing of a South Korean airliner in 1987. North Korea said the shelling was in self-defense after Seoul fired shells into its waters. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak convened an emergency meeting early on Thursday to look at how to contain the economic impact from the attack and additional security measures. The military presence on islands in the Yellow Sea near the disputed border will be boosted and an earlier plan to scale down marine troops stationed there will be canceled, a presidential Blue House official said later. South Korea also said it would pursue constructive engagement with China to use its influence over Pyongyang. 1 2 Next World China South Korea North Korea China Labor Unrest Comments See All Comments (12) | Post Comment Nov 24, 2010 10:34pm EST When a person is deprived of survival means, his only option is to fight. Yamayoko Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 10:49pm EST north Korea and its Chinese mentors deserve severe drubbing and retaliation so that these rough states behave with neighbors. Asean,japan,s. Korea and india should enter in to military cooperation pact and teach them a lesson of their life. RRS Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 11:00pm EST The US should immeadiatly move to Diplomaticaly recognize the ROC as a seperate Country from the PRC. Since the PRC. This should send a clear message to the middle kingdom that it cannot allow thier client states from jabbing our friends without consequence. ROWnine Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 11:05pm EST When a person who continues unrepentant violent actions against others should be provided with the means to carry on doing what they do best in comfortable circumstance. markjuliansmith Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 11:07pm EST Given that the US and South Korea have parked warships in North Korea’s front yard and are shooting off their weapons, I’d say North Korea has a legitimate gripe. What business do US warships have there? We are just asking for trouble and so is South Korea by doing military maneuvers on a border they know very well is a sensitive issue for North Korea. ronryegadfly Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 11:22pm EST @ronryegadfly The United States is the standing army for Japan. We will always be there. We also have a defensive pact with South Korea. If it was not for China North Korea would have been attack yesterday. The military manuevers are done at the border because that is where their military will be fighting. Please keep in mind that South Korea and North Korea is still at war, and has been. They are at a cease fire which the North has broken many times. China and Russia even see North Korea as being in the wrong with the sinking of the ship several months ago and shelling the island this past week. Like Yamayoko said North Korea is deprived due to all of the sanctions they endure, which is caused by their warmongering. They threaten South Korea and Japan, and in turn get concessions. They make nuclear weapons after the US gave them a nuclear reactor for energy, and in turn get concessions. When you reward them over and over for their attacks and threats, this is a logical course of action for the North in order to get more concessions. Again if it wasn’t for China they would have been attacked already. While the US is war weary from Iraq and Afghanistan, we are obligated to come to the aid of South Korea based on our defensive pact. Trooth Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 11:24pm EST Military maneuvers are one thing, shelling civillians is quite another. North Korea has been itching for something and is simply using this as its excuse for starting something from which it won’t be able to back down. allotta Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 11:26pm EST It would appear this was a sole South Korean military exercise which the North Koreans were well aware of in terms of timing and scope. Every time the North Koreans fire a missile towards Japan should Japan bomb the living daylights out of North Korean civilians. Particularly given there is no warning or when North Korea has military manoeuvres near the South Korean border? The Yellow sea is international waters as far as most nations are concerned except China Inc. Which is what this is about anyway? The fact the US and South Korean are allies and the waters in which they operate are either international or South Korean waters what is your point? Clearly legally the US has a right and indeed an obligation to protect its allies and its own interests. markjuliansmith Report As Abusive Nov 24, 2010 11:38pm EST We should let it all go to pot and see what happens. Point being: The world is winding up to bust — ‘happy’ economies based on civilian debt, the terrorist ghost (though more people die of heart disease in a single year than all the people who have ever died from bombings), and the rise of the protracted war. Why not let the Koreas have at each other? Then the U.S. would have to respond; then maybe China would weigh in. And finally! We’d have some kind of climax, a period on the end of this long sentence through which we all suffer. When the dust settles, then maybe (and that’s a big ‘maybe) those who are left can get down to what’s important, what’s sacred — the world we share and the ’sharing’ of the world.
