Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

This is a blatant challenge to the DPRK and an unpardonable politically-motivated provocation to it.

Clear are the aims sought by the Lee Myung Bak regime in persistently lighting the lamp.

Tight-cornered by the DPRK's successful launch of satellite Kwangmyongsong 3-2, the Lee regime is giving vent to its anger by provoking the DPRK and, at the same time, working hard to drive the inter-Korean relations into an extreme phase called armed clash with the emergence of a new "regime" at hand in a bid to stick to its policy of confrontation with the DPRK.

Facts clearly prove that Lee is a wicked traitor to the nation and warmonger blinded by confrontation with compatriots till he meets his miserable end.

What the Lee regime is doing is, in fact, nothing but lunatic acts which can be committed only by those keen on armed clashes and a war between the north and the south.

The DPRK will never remain onlooker to the above-said provocation.

The puppet regime will be wholly accountable for the ensuing catastrophic consequences.

It had better cogitate about the grave situation to be created by its reckless moves and stop at once such farce as lighting a lamp atop Aegibong, warns the commentary.
