North Korea accuses South of using 'human shields'
North Korea has accused Seoul of using human shields on the island where firing from the North killed two South Korean civilians this week.
The North's state media said the South was using the deaths for propaganda.
Two marines also died in the shelling of the South's Yeonpyeong island. Their funerals were held on Saturday amid rising anger in the South.
The North has also issued a new warning on US-South Korea military exercises, set to start on Sunday.
The four days of exercises include the USS George Washington aircraft carrier and its battle group.
North Korea's official KCNA news agency said: "If the US brings its carrier to the West Sea of Korea (Yellow Sea), no-one can predict the ensuing consequences."
Take a look at the military balance below... I'd be worried about my "neighbor" to the south if they were spending that kind of money on military. Oh wait... the U.S.A. is to the south of me
(I especially like the tiny writing with the asterisk next to it where it states: oh yeah, American troops are stationed there as well.... even if the numbers aren't accurate since the troop deployments are always changing)
