Seoul: North Korea's military warned on Saturday that South Korea's "confrontational" policies may force it to retaliate against Seoul.
The Korean People's Army called South Korea's president a "traitor" and accused him of preparing for a military provocation, in a statement carried by Korean Central News Agency.
The statement also reiterated that it will not recognise a disputed western maritime border with South Korea, raising fears of a possible naval conflict.
The North's military warned that confrontation could compel them to "take an all-out confrontational posture to shatter them."
South Korea denies taking a confrontational stance and has repeatedly called for dialogue with the North.
