Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes this in a by-lined commentary. It goes on:

The Lee group brought the inter-Korean relations to a catastrophe in a matter of a little over three years of its office. This baffles human imagination.

The Lee group behaves like puppies knowing no fear of a tiger. It stooped to such stupid acts as seriously hurting the dignity of the leadership of the DPRK and its system. These facts go to clearly prove that its extreme consciousness of confrontation and its hysteria for escalating the confrontation with compatriots have reached the height.

It seems that the Lee group gave up its idea of living with compatriots under the same sky. There is no need to show any good will, generosity and patience to such group. There is no need for the DPRK to closely follow it or hesitate in its actions. This is the lesson drawn by the DPRK once again.

Now that the confrontation maniacs without equals in the world dare perpetrate such extreme provocation as not ruling out even a war against the DPRK, what remains to be done at present is a practical and all-out military retaliation to wipe out the group at once.
