A North Korean envoy said war could erupt because of tension over the sinking of a South Korean warship. "The present situation of the Korean peninsula is so grave that a war may break out any moment," North Korea's deputy ambassador, Ri Jang Gon, told the United Nations-sponsored Conference on Disarmament. Ri also repeated that North Korea had nothing to do with the sinking. Ri also accused South Korea of trying to ignite a a campaign against the DPRK. South Korean ambassador Im Han-taek voiced his regret at Ri's remarks, adding: "We believe it is only for propaganda purposes."
