South Korea's next defense chief said yesterday that jets would bomb North Korea if it stages another attack like last week's deadly shelling.
President Lee Myung-bak's government is suffering intense criticism that its response to North Korea's November 23 barrage on a South Korean island was weak, and over the revelation that South Korea's spy chief dismissed information in August indicating North Korea might attack the front-line island of Yeonpyeong.
Kim Kwan-jin told a parliamentary confirmation hearing yesterday that further North Korean aggression will result in airstrikes.
He said South Korea will use all its combat capabilities to retaliate. "In case the enemy attacks our territory and people again, we will thoroughly retaliate to ensure that the enemy cannot provoke again," Kim said.
