Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes this in an article.

The south Korean warmongers' military provocation is a main factor of gravely threatening the fate of the inter-Korean relations, the article notes, and goes on:

The south Korean warmongers are, in fact, utterly indifferent to the future destiny of the nation and prospect of the inter-Korean relations. It is their preoccupation to bedevil the inter-Korean relations through saber-rattling. This is evidenced by their ceaseless madcap military drills in south Korea such as river crossing, reenactment of "Inchon landing operation", joint naval maneuvers, "Hoguk", "Hwarang" and joint aerial drills.

Such reality glaringly proves that the south Korean authorities are a group of traitors and anti-reunification elements keen to chill the nation's desire for reunification and derail any process for improving the inter-Korean relations, seized by the anachronistic concept of confrontation with the countrymen in the north.

The escalating military tension and confrontation between the north and the south may cause the same extreme tension as what was in last August and this is bound to lead to armed conflict and all-out war between the two sides.

The south Korean authorities should not misjudge the patience on the part of the DPRK.

They would be well advised to behave themselves, bearing in mind that the military tension and confrontation will only bring them disgraceful ruin.
