South Korea Admits to Firing Shells at North Korea
by grtv
South
Korea has admitted it fired artillery shells that triggered an early
morning clash with North Korea. However it says it was part of a
military drill and denied it was directed at the North. Earlier Seoul
blamed the North for what it called an unprovoked shelling of its
island. Pyongyang claimed the South had violated its maritime border
during the military drills.
Seoul has since threatened its neighbour
with what it called 'enormous retaliation'.
The Russian foreign ministry said the clashes are
unacceptable and called on both sides to show restraint to prevent the
outbreak of military conflict.
“What happened deserves condemnation. Those who
initiated the shelling must accept responsibility. We insist that both
sides must take measures to pacify the situation and prevent similar
action in the future. Unfortunately, this is already the third incident
of its kind this year. But this time, there’s a colossal danger of the
situation descending into military conflict. This must be avoided.
Russia has repeatedly warned of the growing tension in the region, and
is now counting on both sides to arrive at a suitable conclusion,”
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
