Rodong Sinmun Raps S. Korean Authorities for Making Poor Excuses
Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities are making poor excuses, showing "regret" at the DPRK's principled demand that they show sincerity for improving the inter-Korean relations by putting an end to the "balloon operations" against the DPRK.

Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes in a commentary in this regard:

They are like an ostrich with its head in the sand.

The south Korean authorities are chiefly to blame for the anti-DPRK psychological warfare including the leaflets scattering operation, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The prevailing situation goes to prove that the south Korean authorities have not an iota of the intention to halt the anti-DPRK psychological warfare.

The anti-DPRK leaflets scattering operation is the most vicious psychological warfare against it, a grave breach of the inter-Korean agreement and a dangerous move for a war.

We would like to re-clarify that the inter-Korean relations can never be improved unless an end is put to the leaflets scattering operations.

The south Korean authorities should stop making poor excuses and discontinue the anti-DPRK "balloon operations" which foster the mistrust and confrontation between the north and the south.

It is not excuses but practical actions that will prove one's sincere efforts for mending the inter-Korean relations.
