Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in a by-lined article in this regard:

This is absolutely unpardonable as it was a revelation of extremely sordid and grave attempt to do harm to the existence of the DPRK and make a crack in the unbreakable single-minded unity.

The DPRK repeatedly urged the group of traitors to stop its unethical acts and warned it of a merciless sacred war.

Defying the DPRK's repeated warnings, the group persisted in its hideous provocations. It went the lengths of desecrating the grand festival held to mark the Day of the Sun.

The events held to mark the Day of the Sun fully demonstrated the fixed will of the army and people of the DPRK to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche through generations, holding the peerlessly great men in high esteem forever.

Watching the above-said festival, south Koreans were greatly pleased and excited to see "the appearance of the extraordinary young leader" and shouted "Hurrah!" for reunification through the alliance with the north.

The arms in the hands of the army and people of the DPRK who regard the dignity of the supreme leadership as dearer than their own lives will take merciless revenge upon the perpetrators of those hideous provocations.
