Tensions Between North Korea and South Korea Heat Up

North Korea and South Korea are in a standoff over international findings that a North Korean torpedo sunk the South Korean warship Cheonan on March 26, which killed 46 sailors. North Korea is threatening war and the two countries on the Korean Peninsula are now regularly exchanging harsh words. In additional to stopping aid to their northern neighbor, South Korea is planning to take the dispute to the United Nations Security Council and the fail-safe naval hotline between the two countries has been disconnected. The New York Times has an article on the fire ways a war could start between the Koreas.
