They could take a few S. Koreans as a hostage. Large-scale hostage crisis could lead to full-scale war and their odds of victory is not good. In contrast, small-scale hostage operation can be managed to their benefit.

For small-scale hostage crisis, S. Korean military is reportedly drawing up the plan to rescue hostages by special forces. However, I suspect that this could also require air cover from SK and U.S. airplanes. Attack by warplanes could be highly likely to help out special forces doing rescue operation on the ground.

If push comes to shove, limited war could be possible. I think NK can play that far if necessary. I do not believe they would do it immediately, i.e., in a next week or so. First they will milk as much as they can from what they have done so far.
