Investigators announced on Thursday that a North Korean sub attacked the South Korean ship, the Cheonan, with a torpedo on March 26. 46 sailors were killed because of the incident.
North Korea claims that investigators fabricated the findings. They are sending investigators to check the validity of the investigation.
The Joint Civilian-Military Investigation Group provided evidence that shows that North Korea was involved in the sinking. They displayed parts of the torpedo that matched blueprints of a North Korean torpedo. Invesigators found markings in hanguel that said "No. 1" in English on the parts. The font was similar to another North Korean torpedo that was found 7 years ago by the South.

North Korea denies sinking the Cheonan on March 26 and is threatening war.
They promised a "merciless strong physical blow," if South Korea responds with even a minor act of aggression on its territory.
The attack on the Cheonan is speculated to be retaliation for a naval skirmish that occurred last November.
