Boston.com, 4 Jun 2011SINGAPORE—South Korea warned Saturday that any future attacks by North Korea would be met by a very strong response, saying that Pyongyang is becoming increasingly bold in its provocations.

Tensions between the two countries that share the Korean peninsula have jumped since two deadly attacks blamed on North Korea last year.
