The news makes all the servicepersons and civilians in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea harden their will to take thousand-fold revenge upon the provokers.

A bitter lesson should be given with arms to the confrontation maniacs--this is the strong demand of all the DPRK people at present.

The working citizens are now in high spirits to further accelerate the socialist construction in all sectors of society while keeping themselves on the alert and thus display the heroic stamina of Songun (military-first) Korea. It is their stand that the socialist construction should be continued until midnight today even if a war may break out tomorrow.

Emergency measures are taken to speed up the production and construction in every sector of the national economy with a mind to annihilate the provokers at once.

Meanwhile, all the working civilians are making full combat readiness to go over into action if the enemies dare attack the DPRK.
