SEOUL, South Korea —
An estimated 800,000 South Koreans staged anti-North Korean rallies Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 1950 North Korean invasion of South Korea.

The rallies, organized by the Korea Anti-Communist League and the Veterans Assn., came as the nation was under an alert against spies and saboteurs from the north.
