Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Monday says: Their actions are an unbearable challenge to the dignity and social system of the DPRK, revelation of a cynic ploy to stifle it at any cost in cooperation with foreign forces and moves for bedeviling the north-south relations and igniting a war against it as they are pursuant to "strategy of dialogue and pressure".

Noting that reliance on outside forces and confrontation with compatriots only lead to a war, the commentary goes on:

Now that the south Korean puppet forces are keen on the political and military confrontation with the DPRK while going against dialogue and improved inter-Korean relations, it is quite self-evident that what remains to be done by them is to go to war.

This is evidenced by the fact that the highest tension is prevailing on the peninsula due to their reckless moves for a nuclear war against the DPRK.

They would be well advised to stop acting rashly, pondering over the grave consequences to be entailed by their moves for escalating the confrontation with compatriots.
