The south Korean puppet military authorities, however, have become all the more reckless in escalating the confrontation with the DPRK, defying the constructive demands made by the DPRK, prompted by its desire to defuse the present tension and achieve peace and prosperity common to the nation. This is an act of swimming against the trend of the times.

In this connection, the head of the DPRK side to the north-south general-level military talks sent the following protest notice to the south side military authorities Friday:

The minister of Defense of the south side in his public appearance disclosed plans to distribute frequency-modulated radios to be used for anti-DPRK psychological broadcasting and set up large electronic displays.

He even raised the issue of starting anti-DPRK loud-speaker broadcasting, groundlessly talking about provocations by someone.

The anti-DPRK psychological operations openly cried out for by the defense chief of the south side are an undisguised declaration of a war against the DPRK and another unpardonable and serious military provocation to it.

It does not want to see tension escalating but will never remain an on-looker to any war action or the slightest provocation threatening peace.

If the south side does not halt the above-said broadcasting and the scattering of anti-DPRK leaflets, it will never be able to escape the KPA's physical strikes at the broadcasting means and leaflet-scattering centers.

The DPRK warns once again that its army will choose its mode of counteraction depending on the attitude of the south side.

The south Korean puppet forces should clearly understand that there is no limit to this mode of counteraction.
