		</div><p>North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered preparations for launching attacks on South Korea, Seoul&#8217;s spy agency disclosed, as worries about the North grow after its recent nuclear test and rocket launch.</p>
<p>In a private briefing to ruling Saenuri Party members, the National Intelligence Service said the North&#8217;s spy agency has begun work to implement the order to &#8220;actively muster capabilities&#8221; to carry out cyber and other attacks on South Korea.</p>
<p>North Korea has a history of attacks on South Korea, such as the 2010 shelling on an island that killed four South Koreans and the 1987 bombing of a South Korean passenger plane that killed all 115 people on board.</p>
<p>During the briefing, the NIS said the attacks could target anti-Pyongyang activists, defectors and government officials in South Korea, according to a Saenuri official who was present.</p>
<p>Attacks on subways, shopping malls and other public places could also happen, he said.</p>
<p>The official quoted the NIS as saying North Korea could launch poisoning attacks on the activists and defectors, or lure them to China where they would be kidnapped.</p>

<p>The current North Korea stand-off is not expected to calm down soon, as Seoul and Washington are discussing deploying a sophisticated US missile defence system in South Korea that Pyongyang warns would be a source of regional tension.</p>
<p>The allies also say their upcoming annual military drills will be the largest ever.</p>
<p>The North says the drills are preparation to stage an invasion.<br />
The US on Wednesday flew four stealth F-22 fighter jets over South Korea and reaffirmed it maintains an &#8220;ironclad commitment&#8221; to the defence of its Asian ally.</p>
<p>Last month, it sent a nuclear-capable B-52 bomber to South Korea following the North&#8217;s fourth nuclear test.</p>
<p>Foreign analysts say the North&#8217;s rocket launch and nuclear test put the country further along its quest for a nuclear-armed missile that could reach the US mainland.</p>
