At dawn of June 25, 1950, the enemies launched a surprise armed attack on the DPRK all along the 38th parallel under their already worked-out war scenario.

The soldiers of the DPRK security forces contained the attack of the enemies, superior in numbers, at all positions and posts and went over to a counteroffensive in cooperation with the units of the Korean People's Army (KPA) in all directions.

A captured enemy officer confessed as follows over the then combat situation:

Soon after launching an attack, we met a strong counterblow from the DPRK security forces. The encounter on the 38th parallel at that time was the fiercest ever in the past ones.

Their counterattack was so strong that all of us, officers and men, could hardly know what to do in that case, only stupefied with fear.

As seen above, the DPRK security forces frustrated the enemies' armed invasion at its beginning by displaying the popular heroism and matchless self-sacrificing spirit.

Their heroic struggle played a decisive part in making an instant counterattack and in liberating Seoul, the stronghold of the aggressors, in three days after the start of the war.
