He said:

The south Korean authorities who have escalated the tension through ceaseless war drills against the DPRK let their warships intrude into the DPRK's territorial waters over the maritime demarcation line southwest of Yonphyong Island and fire bullets and shells at civilian ships that were on normal fishing on Sept. 21. This constitutes a military provocation against the DPRK.

Opening fire at civilian ships is a huge crime against humanity which can never be tolerated.

It became clearer through the recent case who is set to provoke a war on the Korean Peninsula.

We extend full support and solidarity to the principled stand of the DPRK "Instant counterattack to the provocation and national reunification war of justice to aggression war!"
