A South Korean military boat (lower) pow

A South Korean military boat (lower) powers out of its sea base off Yeonpyeong Island in disputed waters in the Yellow Sea, the scene of previous inter-Korean clashes, on May 27, 2009. North Korea Wednesday blasted South Korea's decision to join a US-led anti-proliferation initiative as tantamount to a declaration of war, and threatened an attack if any of its ships are stopped. Analysts said the strongly worded announcement, two days after the North shocked the world with a nuclear test, could set the stage for limited naval clashes in the area -- the scene of bloody firefights in 1999 and 2002.
