South Koreans continue to protest against North Korea's attack on Yeonpyeong Island from two weeks ago. Two civilians and two members of the military were left dead, in what is being called by many, the most aggressive move by the North in years.

South Korean protesters continue to rally against the North on Wednesday. Some 150 protesters gathered in downtown Seoul to denounce the communist state's recent artillery shelling of Yeonpyeong Island.

Angry war veterans and conservative activists condemned the North.

[Choo Sun-hee, Protest Leader]:
"We're here to shave our heads and burn photos as a sign of protest because our sense of national security is lacking and collapsing. Our seniors who experienced the Korean War came out here to make the people realize the situation."

Protesters burned North Korean flags and photos of communist leader Kim Jong-il and his son Kim Jong-un.

And at a separate rally at Seoul's Chinese Embassy, dozens denounced Chinese authorities because they say Beijing is supporting the North.

[Choi Chul-woong, Sec'y General, North Korea Freedom Federation]:
"We insist that the Chinese government who is taking the side of North Korea should know it will be facing isolation and denunciation in the international society. We're here to let China know it."

The International Criminal Court is now investigating whether North Korean forces committed war crimes attacking Yeonpyeong Island.
