The statement branded the naval firing conducted by the south Korean puppet warmongers in the West Sea of Korea as a blatant act of intrusion into the inviolable territorial waters of the DPRK.

Recalling that the Command of Forces of the Korean People's Army in the western sector of the front warned that it would counter the reckless naval firing projected by the Lee Myung Bak group with strong physical retaliation, the statement said:

As the DPRK had already clarified more than once, there is only the extension of the Demarcation Line in the West Sea of Korea fixed by the DPRK.

It is the unshakable and invariable will of the DPRK and the Korean people to return fire for fire.

Whoever intrudes into the territorial waters of the DPRK will face strong strikes.

The statement stressed that the above-said organizations denounce the moves of the south Korean warmongers to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK and extend full support to the righteous stand of the KPA.
