The top U.S. general in South Korea has condemned North Korea’s artillery attack on a South Korean island.
Gen. Walter Sharp called on North Korea to “stop these unprovoked attacks” and to abide by an armistice agreement that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.
Sharp said in a statement Wednesday: “These actions are threatening the peace and stability of the entire region.”
Sharp commands U.S. forces in South Korea as well as the U.S.-led UN Command.
