Minju Joson Tuesday observes this in a by-lined commentary:

The above-said crime is the worst of all what the group has committed against the nation so far.

The DPRK has so far warned the group of the serious consequences to be entailed by its moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen and ignite a war and persuaded it enough to come to understanding. Nevertheless, the group was so hell-bent on such confrontation that it made no scruple of committing such hideous provocation as daring hurt the DPRK's supreme dignity, defying its repeated warnings. How can the nation forgive such crime? Just as a mad dog is fated to be beaten to death with a stick, there is no other way but to mercilessly punish the group by force of arms as mere warning is not enough to make it come to its senses.

The army and people of the DPRK will escalate their practical and overall military retaliation till the puppet authorities have taken measures to punish the prime movers of the case and make apology for it.

The puppet authorities should promptly take measures to severely punish the prime movers of the worst crime committed against the nation, make a formal apology for it and give official assurances against the recurrence of the similar case. This is the only solution to the issue, concludes the commentary.
