The south Korean forces again perpetrated provocations against the DPRK, going against the desire of humankind for peace and development under the patronage of their American master, the statement said, and went on:

Shortly ago Lee Myung Bak of south Korea cried out for preserving the "northern limit line" (nll) in the West Sea of Korea.

Nll claimed by south Korea is an illegal, bogus line which no one recognizes.

The West Sea of Korea should be turned into waters for peace and cooperation, pursuant to inter-Korean agreements.

Regretfully, the West Sea still remains a zone of confrontation where the north and south exchange shelling, drawing the world's attention due to the U.S. and south Korea's anti-DPRK moves for aggression and war.

Bitterly condemning south Korea's moves to keep Nll, the statement strongly demanded south Korea stop at once all its provocations against the peace-loving DPRK desirous of the country's reunification, sovereignty and people's well-being.
