North Korea's military has held a rare news conference to deny any role in the sinking of a South Korean navy vessel. The North is also repeating warnings of war if skirmishes break out with the South in disputed waters.

North Korea's powerful National Defense Commission took the unusual step of speaking directly to international media Friday with the message that it did not sink a South Korean patrol ship in March.
