The statement said:

On March 5 the group of traitors let a spokesman for the puppet Defense Ministry to claim that "there is no worth responding to every unreasonable assertion of the north", "signs at the unit in Inchon were to help soldiers establish the outlook on enemy" and "the south is in a position to urge the north to halt slandering."

Those from the puppet Ministry of Unification have made lame excuses to evade the responsibility for the high treason, asserting that it is "internal affairs of the forces" and "it is a basic moral obligation for the north to immediately stop slandering the south first".

What should not be overlooked is that hooligans of the puppet military have been getting frantic claiming that "they would not remove the photos hung on walls and doors of the unit and defamatory words below them" and "they would stage military exercises as scheduled regardless of the far-fetched assertions of the north".

Puppet Defense Minister Kim Kwan Jin, chief culprit of the hideous provocation, appeared on Yonphyong Island where he said that the "north is sure to provoke". This guy also called for "resolutely and powerfully punishing to take revenge for the sinking of 'Cheonan' warship and the Yonphyong Island shelling".

This hideous challenge has touched off the resentment of all the servicepersons and people of the DPRK who have turned out vowing to stage the sacred war of retaliation and justice. This is a reckless confrontation kicked up by the foolish group of traitors, unaware of genuine arms of the strong revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu and real war.

The group of traitors is talking about "retaliation" and "punishment", while refusing to take down the signs hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK. This is nothing but a declaration to make showdown with the DPRK to the last.

This clearly shows once again that the group of traitors is, indeed, worst clique of gangsters and that the nation can not be in peace even for a single day nor can the Korean Peninsula be free from the danger of a war as long as such guys are allowed to breathe air in this land.

No words will work on the group of traitors which is set to turn the confrontation with fellow countrymen into a sea of blood and flames.

The army and people of the DPRK will surely achieve national reunification by giving full play to their will to mercilessly wipe out the group, now that it openly provokes the DPRK.

This is a final resolution of the army and people of the DPRK.
