Buoyed by her reckless utterances, Han Min Gu, puppet minister of Defense, was so ridiculous and reckless as to bluster he would "contain the north's provocations through prompt, accurate and stern punishment."

Commenting on this, leading newspapers of the DPRK Saturday say what they uttered is a deliberate artifice to stir up extreme hostility and war hysteria against compatriots in the north among their minions and further escalate the military tension between the north and the south.

"Provocations" much touted by them do not make any sense, Rodong Sinmun says, adding:

It is because of the chief executive-led puppet regime in south Korea that the north-south relations are inching close to the phase of ever more serious catastrophe, much less improving.

No matter how vociferous the puppet group becomes about "threat" and "provocation", it will get it nowhere.

The puppet group of traitors is keen on provocations against compatriots in the north, while doing harm to the lives and interests of the people in south Korea. Such acts are as foolish as dropping axes on their own feet.

Minju Joson says the above-said reckless remarks made by the puppet chief executive are no more than a poor trick to divert elsewhere the south Koreans' attention in an effort to calm down their mounting anti-"government" sentiments and tide over her worst ruling crisis.
