S. Korean military hit for slandering north

KCNA

    Pyongyang, March 10 (KCNA) -- The South Korean military issued a "statement on the north" in a bid to kick up a row instead of expressing support and sympathy with the DPRK which exercised its self-defensive right by letting fighters of its people's army force a reconnaissance plane of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces to fly away. Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary terms it an act against the nation and peace. According to a news report, the South Korean ministry of defence in a "statement on the north" issued on March 7 slandered the north and went the length of admonishing it over the incident of the U.S. reconnaissance plane which occurred on March 2, asserting that "such incident may have a serious impact on the security situation" on the Korean Peninsula and "it is a reckless military action."
    The commentary goes on:
    The South Korean military authorities put the fellow countrymen in the north on edge at a time when the very dangerous foal eagle joint military exercise aimed to inflict disasters of a nuclear war on the nation is now under way in South Korea, the Rsoi drill is to be staged there under the simulated conditions for a war against the north, a U.S. aircraft carrier Carl Vinson is deployed in the waters off South Korea and 24 B1 and B52 bombers and more than 2,000-strong U.S. Forces have been amassed on Guam Island all of a sudden for the purpose of mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK. This is intolerable.
    The reckless behaviour on the part of the South Korean authorities will only result in bringing the inter-Korean relations back to those in the period of confrontation.
    If they are truly concerned about the danger of war created on the Korean Peninsula, they should not slander the fellow countrymen in the north while siding with foreign forces but stop the joint war exercises with the U.S. aimed to invade the north, respect the spirit of the June 15 Joint Declaration and opt for protecting the interests of the nation. They should know that days of those who dare provoke the north are numbered.
