S Korea raps 'reckless' North on war anniversary
Saturday, 26 June 2010
SEOUL, June 25 (AFP): South and North Korea fired off a volley of cross-border accusations Friday as they marked the 60th anniversary of a war which killed millions of people and kept the peninsula divided to this day.
At a solemn ceremony in Seoul to commemorate the war's outbreak, President Lee Myung-Bak told the North to stop its "reckless military provocations" and to apologise for the sinking of a warship that has sent tensions soaring.
Pyongyang in turn accused Seoul and its US ally of trying to provoke a new war and reportedly declared a "no-sail" zone off its west coast.
