North Korea announced on Saturday that it was entering a "state of war" with South Korea.

North Korea's official KCNA news agency carried a statement saying:

"From this time on, the North-South relations will be entering the state of war and all issues raised between the North and the South will be handled accordingly."

The comment has been brushed off by Seoul. South Korea'a Unification Ministry said:

"North Korea's statement today (on entering a state of war) ... is not a new threat but is the continuation of provocative threats."
