<p>North Korea has threatened to launch a &#8220;sacred&#8221; nuclear war against South Korea if it is attacked.</p>
<p>The warning came as Seoul staged military exercises that have raised already high tensions on the peninsula.</p>
<p>The remarks seemed aimed at revving patriotic spirit on the eve of the 19th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il&#8217;s appointment as the supreme military commander.</p>
<p>Defence chief Kim Yong Chun said North Korea is &#8220;fully prepared to launch a sacred war&#8221; &#8211; and would use its nuclear capabilities &#8211; if attacked and warned the South against intruding onto even the smallest amount on its territory, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.</p>
<p>North Korea&#8217;s anger was sparked by South Korea&#8217;s staging of live-fire drills on Yeonpyeong Island, which was shelled by the North&#8217;s artillery on November 23. Four South Koreans were killed.</p>
<p>North Korea has said it shelled the island because South Korea fired artillery into its territorial waters first.</p>
<p>South Korea has countered that it fired artillery away from North Korea as part of routine drills.</p>
<p>On Thursday, South Korea conducted its largest air-and-ground firing drills near the tense land border in a show of force against North Korea. The North&#8217;s state media has called the drills &#8220;provocative&#8221; and &#8220;offensive.&#8221;</p>
<p>The two Koreas are still technically at war because their 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.</p>
