On February 22 the south Korean belligerent forces let civilian boats repeatedly infiltrate into the waters of the DPRK under the pretext of building "man-made reefs" aimed at checking illegal fishing operations of boats from a third country and protecting aquatic resources in the waters off the five islands in the West Sea.

Such intrusion repeated 5 times and its depth reached 1.1 km that day alone.

What merits a serious attention is that such intrusion is being perpetrated under the open patronage and zealous wire-pulling of the U.S. imperialists.

U.S. imperialist aggressors appeared with a loudspeaker near the Military Demarcation Line at Panmunjom at dawn of Wednesday and staged a weird farce of "informing" the side of the Korean People's Army (KPA) of an operation to build "man-made reefs" in the waters off Yonphyong Island. Then they hurled a pack of hooligans into waters of the north side.

They sent even ghost-like "UN Forces"-flagged warships to the waters under the pretext of "monitoring the operation and ensuring security."

Buoyed by their master's encouragement, gangsters of the puppet military are blustering despite the warning served by the KPA that "it is an absurd accusation against their routine activities" and "it will be forced to pay dearly for threatening," deliberately escalating the tension.

The situation goes to prove that the intrusions are premeditated military provocations of the puppet forces to tide over the prevailing unprecedented crisis in south Korea by creating "security uneasiness and crisis."

The KPA has already warned that it would take a resolute counteraction against the aggressors engrossed in reckless military provocations in the waters of the West Sea where the DPRK's sovereignty is exercised.

If the U.S. and the south Korean puppet bellicose forces persist in foolhardy military provocations despite the repeated warnings served by the DPRK, they will be held wholly accountable for all catastrophic consequences to be entailed by them.
