North Korea to scrap naval accord with South
North Korea announced today that it will scrap an accord aimed at preventing accidental naval clashes with South Korea in retaliation for Seoul blaming Pyongyang for the sinking of one of its warships.
Tension on the divided peninsula has risen dramatically since a team of international investigators said last week that a torpedo fired by a North Korean submarine tore apart the South Korean warship on March 26, killing 46 sailors.
