S.Korea draws up N.Korea counter-attack plans
7 June , Korea - South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) have briefed President Lee Myung-Bak on plans for a huge counter-attack on North Korea if it fires missiles at its navy ships, defence officials said Sunday.
The contingency plan, drafted amid growing cross-border tensions, was reported to Lee Saturday when the president visited an air base in Osan, south of Seoul, JCS officials said.
"North Korea's firing of ground-to-ship missiles at our navy ships would prompt counter-attacks simultaneously from surface, air and sea," JCS chairman Kim Tae-Young had told Lee, according to a JCS spokesman.
Defence officials in Seoul said the South had prepared K-9 self-propelled cannons, naval destroyers and F-15K aircraft armed with cruise missiles and precision bombs near the tense sea border with the North in the Yellow Sea. ...
The South's navy said Tuesday it had sent a high-speed patrol boat armed with guided missiles to the two country's disputed western border, after reports that the North's military was conducting landing exercises there.
Pyongyang wants the adjoining sea border to be drawn further south and the area has been the site of deadly naval clashes in 1999 and 2002.
More than 600,000 South Korean soldiers, backed by 28,500 US troops, have been deployed on the Korean peninsula, confronting a potential threat from the North's 1.1 million-strong military.
