Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes in a signed article in this regard:

The above-said actions taken by the south Korean conservative authorities were promoted by their sinister scenario to totally block national reconciliation, unity and cooperation provided by the inter-Korean declarations, bring the inter-Korean relations to a total collapse and ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK at any cost in league with the United States.

The conservative group desperately torpedoed the said events for fear that successful reunification events in the north and the south might significantly stir up the atmosphere of reunification nationwide, give momentum to the south Korean people's actions against its policy for escalating confrontation with the DPRK and, consequently, deepen its ruling crisis.

The puppet group has reached an extreme phase in its moves to keep the inter-Korean relations in the present state of catastrophe and bring the situation to the brink of war.

The puppet warmongers are getting frantic in their moves to escalate confrontation and start a war, crying out for "resolute steps", "punishment" and "price" under the patronage and backing of the U.S. imperialists, their master.

Never have there been such ferocious enemies of reunification as the group of traitors who have rushed headlong into inter-Korean confrontation and a war of aggression against the DPRK while totally blocking the reunification events common to the nation.

The south Korean people are now fully ready to settle accounts with the group of traitors hell-bent on the moves to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK, not content with having brought the inter-Korean relations to a total collapse. It will have to pay a thousand-fold price for its indelible crimes.
