North And South Korea Enters A State Of War by Skylee(m): 3:42am On Mar 30, 2013

Inside North Korea
North Korea has said it is entering a "stateof war" with South Korea in its latest escalation of rhetoric against its southern neighbour and the US.
A statement promised "stern physical actions" against "any provocative act".
North Korea has threatened attacks almost daily after it was sanctioned for a third nuclear test in February. It has also reacted angrily to annual US-South Korean military exercises.
However, few think the North would risk a full-blown war.
North and South Korea have technically beenat war since the armed conflict between them ended in 1953, because an armistice was never turned into a peace treaty.
The North carried out its third nuclear test on 12 February, which led to the imposition of fresh sanctions.
'Taking threats seriously'
A North Korean statement released on Saturday said: "From this time on, the North-South relations will be entering the state of war and all issues raised between the North and the South will be handled accordingly."
"The long-standing situation of the Korean peninsula being neither at peace nor at war is finally over."
