Puppet war-like forces, the arch criminal of the recent provocation case, are claiming that the north fired shells first and it was aimed to "disturb the routine guard operation of the south and nullify the northern limit line". They even blared that "if the north provokes the south, the latter would relentlessly punish the former."

Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a commentary terms this a brigandish act like the guilty party filing the suit first.

The story about "shelling of the north" floated by the Park Geun Hye group after firing shells first clearly proves what a serious phase the group's anti-DPRK smear campaign and confrontation hysteria have reached, the commentary says, and goes on:

What matters is that the puppet forces are busying themselves with new military provocations, vociferating about "unpardonable act" and "relentless punishment", not content with floating the fiction full of lies and hypocrisy.

It is a prerequisite for providing a sure guarantee for the peace of the country and security of the nation to thoroughly contain the puppet forces' evermore reckless confrontation racket.

They had better clearly understand that they would be mercilessly punished if they go reckless.
