Such heinous provocation touched off a strong indignation against them among all the servicepersons of the Korean People's Army (KPA).

Supreme Commander of the KPA Kim Jong Un guided the large-scale intensive striking drill of long-range artillery pieces of the KPA large combined units on the front for blowing up the Chongwadae and the reactionary ruling machines in Seoul, said Jo Hong Gun, a KPA general, and went on:

The group of traitors should bear in mind that there is a limit to our patience.

All artillery pieces are fully ready to launch a preemptive attack on those provokers. A sacred war of retaliation will begin with the downpour of fire from the Juche artillery pieces zeroing on the Chongwadae and there would be no prior warning or notice.

The enemies know well about the power of the long-range artillery and large-caliber multiple rocket launchers through the Yonphyong Island shelling incident.

Our artillery will reduce to ashes Chongwadae and other plot-breeding hangouts as well as all root causes of war, including U.S. military bases.

O Tong Chol, a KPA officer, said that all KPA servicepersons including sharpshooters are put on the highest alert.
