North Korea warned Friday that it would "will take merciless military measures" to defend itself in disputed waters where a bloody naval clash with rival South Korea took place this week, further raising tensions ahead of a visit to Seoul by US President Barack Obama. North Korea reiterated it would not honor the Northern Limit Line, a de facto western sea border drawn up by the UN command at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, also demanding that South Korea apologize over the clash in which one North Korean naval officer was killed and three others wounded.
