Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry Wednesday issued the following statement:
As already reported by the Supreme Command of the KPA, the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK on Nov. 23 took a decisive self-defensive measure to cope with the enemy's reckless military provocation of firing shells inside the territorial waters of the DPRK side around Yonphyong Islet in the West Sea of Korea.
The army of the DPRK warned several times that if even a single shell of the enemy is fired inside the territorial waters of the DPRK, it will take a prompt retaliatory strike in connection with the live shell firing drill they planned to stage from Yonphyong Islet while conducting the ill-famed war maneuvers for a war of aggression against the DPRK codenamed Hoguk.
At 8:00 a.m. on Nov. 23, the very day the incident occurred, the head of the delegation of the DPRK side to the inter-Korean military talks sent a telephone message to the head of the delegation of the enemy side once again strongly urging it to cancel the plan for staging the above-said firing drill in the waters around the islet, the sensitive waters.
This notwithstanding, the enemy committed such an extremely reckless military provocation as firing dozens of shells from the islet inside the territorial waters of the DPRK side from around 13:00.
The enemy fired shells from the islet which is so close to the territory of the DPRK that it is within each other's eyeshot despite the fact that there are so many mountains and rivers, sea waters and islets in south Korea. This powder-reeking saber-rattling cannot be construed otherwise than a politically motivated provocation.
The enemy is claiming that they fired shells southward from the islet in a bid not to get on the nerves of the DPRK but Yonphyong Islet is located deep inside the territorial waters of the DPRK away from the maritime military demarcation line. If live shells are fired from the islet, they are bound to drop inside the territorial waters of the DPRK side no matter in which direction they are fired because of such geographical features.
The ulterior aim sought by the enemy is to create the impression that the DPRK side recognized the waters off the islet as their "territorial waters", in case that there was no physical counter-action on the part of the former.
Herein lies the crafty and vicious nature of the enemy's provocation.
The army of the DPRK took such a self-defensive measure as making a prompt powerful strike at the artillery positions from which the enemy fired the shells as it does not make an empty talk.
This incident is one more dangerous development which took place because of the illegal "northern limit line" unilaterally fixed by Clark, UN forces commander, as he pleased on Aug. 30, 1953 after the conclusion of the Korean Armistice Agreement.
The U.S., its followers and some bosses of international bodies should drop such bad habit as thoughtlessly accusing somebody before learning about the truth about the incident.
If they shield south Korea, the criminal, without principle, just for being their ally, this is little short of feeding oil to the fire.
The DPRK that sets store by the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula is now exercising superhuman self-control but the artillery pieces of the army of the DPRK, the defender of justice, remain ready to fire.
And this:
S. Korean Group Accused of Scuttling Dialogue and Humanitarian Work |
|
|
Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- After kicking off the war maneuvers for a war of aggression against the DPRK codenamed "Hoguk" the south Korean puppet group perpetrated on Nov. 23 such reckless military provocation as firing dozens of shells inside its territorial waters around Yonphyong Islet in the West Sea of Korea. The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK took such decisive military step as reacting to the reckless military provocation of the puppet group with a prompt and powerful physical strike.
Nevertheless, the puppet group dared make an uproar over "a provocation" from someone and cry out for "punishment" like a thief crying "Stop the thief!" To crown all, it announced that it would indefinitely put off the inter-Korean Red Cross talks slated to take place on Nov. 25.
The C.C., the Red Cross Society of the DPRK in a communique released in this connection on Nov. 24 vehemently denounces the Lee Myung Bak group for derailing the process for improving the inter-Korean relations, scuttling the inter-Korean Red Cross talks and driving the situation to the brink of war by pursuing its policy of confrontation with the DPRK.
The grave military provocation perpetrated by the puppet group this time and its action to indefinitely delay the above-said talks glaringly show what it sought in remaining dead-set against the improvement of the inter-Korean relations and hamstringing any effort for it, the communique notes, and goes on:
Given that the south Korean Red Cross declared the indefinite postponement of the talks after being reduced to a waiting maid of the puppet warmongers, we have no idea of remaining committed to settling humanitarian issues any longer.
The Red Cross of south Korea should be held responsible for having scuttled such humanitarian undertakings as the normalization of the reunion of separated families and relatives before the whole nation.
The Lee Myung Bak group's treacherous and anti-reunification acts are intolerable as it vitiated the atmosphere for improving the inter-Korean relations overnight and drove the situation to the brink of war, challenging the desire of all the Koreans.
The Lee group of traitors will never be able to escape severer punishment by the nation as it derailed the noble humanitarian work and is bringing a horrible disaster to the fellow countrymen through its moves to escalate the confrontation with compatriots and war maneuvers.
More Chinese, apparently in the DPRK while the shelling was going on, or shortly after. Yeah, China will reign them in all right...they're using NoKo to wage their proxy war.

Chen Zhu said that the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the two peoples provided by President Kim Il Sung together with Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai are growing stronger as the days go by.
He recalled that General Secretary Kim Jong Il visited China twice this year, putting the bilateral ties of friendship and cooperation on a new high stage.
He noted that the Korean people are registering great successes in various fields in the spirit of self-reliance and fortitude.
He expressed the will to contribute to boosting the exchange between the two governments in the field of public health and medical science in the days ahead.

They didn't forget about you, Japan:
Japan's Wild Ambition for Territorial Expansion under Fire |
|
|
Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- Japan is escalating the territorial disputes with China and Russia these days, claiming Diaoyu Islands in China and the Southern Kurils in Russia belong to it.
Minju Joson Wednesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:
The ulterior aim sought by Japan in noisily peddling the non-existent issues of territories of its neighboring countries is to expand its territory by grabbing territories of other countries.
The present Japanese authorities' hysteria over territorial disputes is obviously part of their campaign to revive the operations to usurp other countries' territories in the past era of the Japanese imperialists and moves to expand their territory.
Japan is becoming increasingly assertive for the claim to Tok Islets, part of the inviolable territory of Korea recognized by historical facts and international law. This is designed to grab this part of the territory of Korea at any cost.
The Japanese authorities are now distributing the maps on which Tok Islets are marked as part of Japan's territory in a bid to implant the distorted historical facts into the minds of the young Japanese.
Moreover, the Japanese reactionaries again stipulated in the "2010 defense white paper" that Tok Islets are part of the territory of Japan.
Japan keeps so greedy eye on Tok Islets of Korea or the Southern Kurils of Russia and so on because they are located in the places of great military and geographical importance.
Japan is a war criminal state which launched a war to occupy large territories of Asian countries, advocating "the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere" in the past and the only country in the world which has dodged settling its past crimes.
Japan would be well advised to realize that it is a wise option for it to awake from a pipe dream of territorial aggrandizement.
Only a hippy loser of commie bastard would call "war games" that happen every year and that they are warned of in advance "warmongering." I thought the one they used earlier was far more appropriate, given the sours--"war maniacs."
S. Korean Group's War Maneuvers under Fire |
|
|
Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- The British Association for the Study of Songun Policy and the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea made public a joint statement on Nov. 18 accusing the U.S. and south Korean war maniacs of their anti-DPRK war maneuvers.
The statement denounced them for planning to stage the provocative Hoguk war exercises again.
It went on:
This saber-rattling poses a serious threat to the peace of the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world.
The projected war exercises are part of the ceaseless war maneuvers targeted against the DPRK and run counter to the spirit of the June 15 Joint Declaration and the October 4 declaration.
They are also part of the moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean authorities to stifle socialist Korea of Juche centered on the popular masses.
We demand the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean authorities halt at once their war maneuvers for aggression on the DPRK.
The statement called on the world progressive figures and adherents to the Juche idea, the Songun idea, to take positive actions against the above-said war racket of the U.S. and the south Korean warmongers.
Had enough? If not, what's wrong with you? We're clearly not dealing with sanity or morality here, it's wearying, gets nowhere (which is what they want), allows them to posture, and in the end, we give them the same consequences we give to those who are reasonable and good: money, aid, and our attention.
Time to tan the hide of this spoiled little brat. That should be a good start....the more severe the better.
Watch for attacks on Japan, probably the mentioned Tok Islet islands first, then both Japan and South Korea proper, beginning with our men at the DMZ.
Can you say three front war? 'Cause just saying it is not the hardest part.
Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY. |
