North Korea on Saturday threatened to fire at South Korean warships if they cross a disputed western sea border, a day after the South's navy fired warning shots to chase away two North Korean ships that briefly crossed the boundary.In a statement released through state media, the General Staff of North Korea's Korean People's Army called the South's action a "reckless military provocation" meant to kill the chances for dialogue between the countries.The KPA said that the North Korean ships repelled by the South Korean navy were unarmed and said it will directly fire without warning at South Korean warships if they intrude the sea border by "even 0.001 millimeters.""This reckless military provocation was evidently prompted by a premeditated sinister plot to bedevil the North-South relations and further aggravate the tension on the Korean Peninsula," the KPA said about Friday's incident.South Korea's navy on Friday morning fired five rounds of warning shots to chase away a North Korean military vessel and a fishing boat that briefly crossed into South Korea-controlled waters. The South had also fired warning shots after a North Korean patrol boat moved south of the boundary in February.
