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

Such reckless rowdyism of the south Korean conservative group is pursuant to the U.S. imperialists' policy of aggression on the DPRK in every aspect. It is, therefore, a deliberate and premeditate provocation prompted by the criminal design to ignite a war of aggression on the DPRK at any cost in collusion with the U.S. imperialists when an opportunity presents itself while completely bedeviling the north-south relations, hamstringing the process for the establishment of peace-keeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula and rendering the confrontation and tension between the north and the south to the extremity.

The threat of aggression in the Korean Peninsula comes from south Korea which turned into the U.S. imperialists' biggest nuclear advance base in the Far East and a military ground of ceaseless large-scale DPRK-targeted war exercises of various forms.

There is no change in the south Korean puppet conservative group's criminal ambition to totally bedevil the inter-Korean relations through unprecedented frantic confrontation with the DPRK and war moves, stem the trend of the June 15 era of reunification and launch an invasion of the DPRK at any cost in collusion with the U.S. imperialists.

However, the puppet warmongers will get nothing but shameful destruction in showdown with the DPRK.

It is disposition and mettle of the DPRK to return fire for fire and deal a heavy blow of Songun at any attempt to invade the DPRK. Out of its heavy responsibility for peace of the peninsula and security of the nation, the DPRK will never tolerate the puppet warmongers bringing the dark clouds of nuclear war in collusion with foreign forces to hang over the nation but certainly force them to pay thousand-fold prices for such crime.
