South Korean president says country would respond strongly "without any political considerations" to an attack by North.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye has vowed "strong retaliation" to any provocation by North Korea, after Pyongyang declared it was formally at war with Seoul.
Meeting senior military officials and Defence Minister Kim Kwan-jin on Monday, Park said: "If there is any provocation against South Korea and its people, there should be a strong response in initial combat without any political considerations."
Meanwhile, the White House played down the North's threat, saying that despite bellicose rhetoric, the US administration has not seen changes in Pyongyang's military posture.
