N. Korean provocation likely to be 'beyond imagination': naval commander

   By Sam Kim
SEOUL, Feb. 24 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's top naval commander was quoted Tuesday as warning that North Korea could provoke in a fashion "beyond our imagination" as he inspected South Korea's east coast despite rising concerns of an armed clash on the western side.

The inspection by Navy Chief of Staff Jung Ok-keun came just days after the South Korean chairman of general staff said at a parliamentary hearing that the North could deploy surprise tactics by provoking at an unexpected site along the border with South Korea.
