  • 2.40pm: The President of South Korea has said he believes "enormous retaliation is going to be necessary to make North Korea incapable of provoking us again".
    Quoted by Yonhap news agency, Lee Myung-bak said: "Reckless attacks on South Korean civilians are not tolerable, especially when South Korea is providing North Korea with humanitarian aid."
    "As for such attacks on civilians, a response beyond the rule of engagement is necessary.
    "Our military should show this through action rather than an administrative response," he added.
    Lee did not rule out the possibility of follow-up attacks.
    "Given that North Korea maintains an offensive posture, I think the Army, the Navy and the Air Force should unite and retaliate against [the North's] provocation with multiple-fold firepower," Lee said.
    "I think enormous retaliation is going to be necessary to make North Korea incapable of provoking us again."
