Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

These bellicose remarks made by the puppets are a clear revelation of their criminal scenario to shift the responsibility for the extremely bedeviled situation on the Korean Peninsula on to the DPRK and to commit a reckless military provocation in the waters of the West Sea, availing themselves of the opportunity, in a bid to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK.

The much ado made by the Lee group about "armed provocation" and "the creation of tensions" by someone, maliciously slandering the DPRK's exercise of its legitimate right to self-defence is nothing but sheer sophism making profound confusion of right and wrong.

The touch and go situation prevailing in the waters of the West Sea at present is attributable to the reckless moves for military provocations stepped up by the Lee group, while floating the above-said wild rumors.

The war racket kicked up by the Lee group, raising a hue and cry over "military provocation" and "security crisis" allegedly created by the DPRK is intended to cover up its traitorous nature and mislead the angered public opinion in south Korea.

Now that the group's scenario for a war has been brought to light, the DPRK will strongly react to it with measures for practical actions as it has already declared. The traitors keen on the confrontation with fellow countrymen and the moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK are bound to face a merciless punishment.

The Lee group had better cool its heads heated with war fever and stop its rash acts.
