The commentary says the south Korean authorities' talk about "peace" and "dialogue" on the international arena is little short of a third-rate charade and that their real intention is in escalating confrontation with fellow countrymen.

It goes on:

So far, we have made sincere efforts and several proposals for detente of the north-south relations but in fact, the inter-Korean relations have not taken even a step towards reconciliation and unity but been brought back to the origin of confrontation.

It is our disposition and mettle to respond to good faith in kind and deal a merciless counterblow to a hostile act of hurting the sovereignty and dignity of the country.

Explicitly speaking, this is just a start of the fierce retaliatory action. As clarified before the world, a measure for punishment of those who dared to slander the dignity of our supreme leadership will be merciless.

The south Korean authorities will be forced to pay the dearest price for making a mockery of our people's sacred mental core.
