The South Korean President has vowed to turn five islands near the tense border with the North into military fortresses. It comes after the latest round of U.S.-led talks on North Korea failed to ease tensions on the peninsula. The latest push to militarise the area near the border comes as the U.S. and the South hold live-fire naval drills there. The exercises prompted Pyongyang to accuse Seoul of provocation. The situation remains fragile after the two neighbours exchanged fire late last month. The attack killed two South Korean Marines and two civilians. Sara Flounders from the New York-based International Action Center claims the U.S. is deliberately working to push the peninsular to the brink of war.
