North Korea Abandons Truce with South Korea, Threatens Attack

North Korea has abandoned a long standing truce with South Korea after their neighbor joined the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative which plans to search ships that are carrying suspicious cargoes in an attempt to halt the transportation of nuclear weapons.

That action has been called a “declaration of war” by North Korea and has threatened to launch an attack if any of its ships were stopped. In a statement released by a North Korean spokesman the act it was declared, “Any hostile act against our peaceful vessels, including search and seizure, will be considered an unpardonable infringement on our sovereignty.” That declaration was followed by a promise of a strong military strike against South Korea if the PSI carried out their searches.

Tension between the two sides has increased dramatically over the past two days following North Korea’s successful underground nuclear test. Last month North Korea set off alarms after test firing a long-range missile that many believe to have been preparations for a strike.

On Tuesday South Korea reported signs that North Korea had restarted their efforts at producing weapons-grade plutonium at their Pyongyang plant, a move that has further raised tension between the two sides.
