(LEAD) S. Korean military to prepare with U.S. for cyber warfare scenarios
By Kim Eun-jung
SEOUL, April 1 (Yonhap) -- In light of the massive attacks on the websites of major broadcasters and banks, South Korea's defense ministry said Monday it will increase cyber warfare forces and develop various deterrence scenarios in cooperation with the United States to better deal with emerging threats.

The ministry briefed President Park Geun-hye on the 2013 policy plan along with other security goals and assessments of North Korea's threats. Tensions on the peninsula have come to a boiling point in the wake of Pyongyang's saber-rattling over joint military drills held in the South.
