But the puppet authorities did not accept the notice of the DPRK side under the unreasonable pretext as they felt guilty for what they have done.

Under this situation the CPRK decided to open to public the notice addressed to Chongwadae.

The notice said:

According to south Korean media, "Paekgol unit" in Cholwon, south Korean Kangwon Province and other forefront units set up slogans heaping malignant slanders and calumnies on the dignity of the leadership of the DPRK and its system and army in their barracks and posts and on military facilities and walls and are inciting extreme hostility toward it.

This is one more unpardonable hideous provocation and a declaration of a war against the DPRK.

When the south side's military set up and fired at the targets hurting the dignity of the leadership of the DPRK, it warned the south side of its gravity. It also strongly demanded the south side immediately make apology, punish the prime movers and take measures to prevent the recurrence of similar incident.

The south side, in fact, apologized to the DPRK, describing it as an "inappropriate happening" and saying it "took relevant measures in the units."

The recent hideous provocations prove these were just lies and that Chongwadae and senior military officers were the architects of the provocations.

The south side should immediately make apology for the recent provocations, punish the prime movers, remove all the foul slogans and stop reckless provocations at once.

If the south side continues to connive at the provocations defiling the dignity of the leadership of the DPRK and its system and army, the DPRK will resolutely counter them with an all-out military retaliation and merciless measures for punishment as it had already warned in statements.
