(SKY NEWS) North Korea has warned it will continue to launch attacks if the South violates its disputed sea border and blamed Seoul for starting major clashes that killed two soldiers.

South Korea said around 200 North Korean artillery shells hit one of its islands, prompting Seoul to return fire.

But the communist state claimed its arch-rival fired first, after the North warned Seoul to halt military drills in the area.

Two South Korean marines were killed and 16 other soldiers hurt, some seriously, after the shelling on the island of Yeonpyeong. Around 70 houses were also ablaze.

It was one of the heaviest bombardments on the South since the Korean War ended with a truce in 1953. This means the countries are still technically at war.

North Korea has now threatened to continue launching strikes if its neighbour violates their western sea border “even 0.001 millimetre”.

Pyongyang‘s supreme military command said it would “launch merciless military retaliatory strikes”.
