SEOUL - South Korea on Thursday accused the North of sinking a navy ship last March, saying the evidence was overwhelming and that it would take "firm" measures against its isolated neighbor.
The North called the report by international investigators a fabrication and warned that it was prepared to go to war if the South takes sanctions against it, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
A joint civilian and military investigation team, that included experts from the United States, Australia, Britain and Sweden, concluded that a North Korean submarine fired the torpedo that sank the Cheonan corvette, killing 46 sailors.
