SEOUL — North Korea confiscated five South Korean-owned facilities at a jointly operated mountain resort on Friday, while calling the president of South Korea a “traitor” and accusing him of defaming the North’s most important holiday.
The unilateral seizures and harsh comments were indicative of the tensions that have been rising between the two Koreas since a South Korean warship sank in a mysterious explosion on March 26.
Although he has not yet blamed the North for the sinking, and while vowing to find the cause of the incident, President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea has aired unusually harsh criticisms of the Pyongyang regime amid a growing suspicion in the South that the ship may have been hit by a North Korean torpedo.
North Korea has denied any involvement in the sinking, which killed 39 South Korean sailors. Seven seamen are still missing and presumed dead.
