An official South Korean  report has accused the communist North of firing a torpedo at the ship,  killing 46 sailors. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,  visiting Seoul on Wednesday, called the sinking "an unacceptable  provocation by North Korea" and said the international community should  respond.Also Thursday, the general staff of North Korea's military -- the  Korean People's Army, or KPA -- said it was enacting new measures to  deal with any "all-out confrontation."  The steps would "retract  all measures for providing military guarantees for the North-South  cooperation and exchange, and the promise of a physical strike."The KPA will make a prompt physical strike at the intrusion into the  extension of the Military Demarcation Line under our side's control in  the West Sea of Korea," the army said, according to the KCNA news  agency.CNNSouth Korea raise alert level on North KoreaSouth Korean and U.S. forces have raised by one notch the level of   military alert against possible aggression from North Korea.A  high-ranking South Korean government source on Wednesday said the  threat  of North Korean provocation has risen as sanctions against North  Korea  take effect following the sinking of the Navy corvette Cheonan. The  source added the two militaries have raised the "Watchcon" (watch   condition) level from three to two, which denotes "vital indications" of   a security threat.Watchcon is a five-stage surveillance system  watching over North Korean  military movements. The higher the level, the  more spy satellites,  reconnaissance planes and intelligence analysts  are deployed on more  frequent monitoring missions.</blockquote>
