The North said that attack was in retaliation for a live-fire exercise which
dropped shells into waters which Pyongyang considers part of its maritime
territory.
The 2010 attack briefly sparked fears of war and triggered a major South
Korean military build-up on the islands. Seoul has vowed to hit back harder,
using air power, for any fresh strike.
Early Monday, Pyongyang repeated threats of possible retaliation.
“If the puppet warmongers pre-empt reckless firing despite our warning,
they will not escape punishment thousands-fold severer than the past
Yeonpyeong Island shelling,” said a statement issued in the name of an
official body called the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea.
Pyongyang has taken a hostile tone towards Seoul since Kim Jong-un, the
youngest son of the late leader Kim Jong-il, took over following the death
of his father in December.
South Korea says the drill is a regular monthly exercise designed to maintain
combat-readiness in the flashpoint border region.
Officials said residents of the front line islands would be advised to
relocate to safe zones before the firing begins.
