The South Korean defence minister-designate has threatened a retaliatory strike if North Korea should attack the country again.

Kim Kwan-Jin, speaking in the South Korean parliament, said the military would strike back to punish the attacker.

Kim said the South Korean government would definitely use the air force.

North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells onto Yeonpyeong island in South Korea on November 23rd, killing two people.

While the South exchanged fire, it did not use its considerable air power against its neighbour.

Because the previous defence minister did not take decisive action, there were public calls for his resignation.
