FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda South Korea has called on the North to “abandon” its nuclear ambitions and hold dialogue in order to end the crisis in the Korean Peninsula.
“It will be good for all if North Korea abandons its plan for a nuke test and nuclear programs and holds dialogue with the international community, including with us,” Cho Tai-young, a spokesman for the South Korean Foreign Ministry, told a press briefing on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Seoul claimed that Pyongyang has fired shells near a warship that was patrolling south of the disputed Yellow Sea border.
According to officials, the South Korean warship responded by firing several rounds into North Korean territorial waters.
The North’s military threatened on Wednesday to attack South Korean warships “without any warning” if there was a “trifle” violation of the maritime border.
A day earlier, a South Korean naval ship fired warning shots to stop an incursion by three North Korean patrol boats across the sea.
The two Koreas have come close to a war in the past few years on numerous occasions.
Tensions have been on the rise on the Korean Peninsula in recent weeks as Pyongyang accuses its southern neighbor and the United States of “rehearsing for an invasion.” The two allies began their joint military exercises at the end of February despite Pyongyang’s calls to cancel such drills.
Pyongyang recently conducted a series of rocket and ballistic missile launches and threatened to carry out a new nuclear test.
The North’s official KCNA news agency reported on April 2 that the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, had warned that the situation on the Korean Peninsula was “very grave” and vowed to “thoroughly crush” a US-engineered policy of hostility.
