S. Korean Army Commits Military Provocations in West Sea

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- The south Korean army Friday committed such military provocations as threatening peaceable fishing boats of the north side by illegally infiltrating warships deep into the territorial waters of the north side in the West Sea, according to military sources. At around 08:50 Friday the south Korean army infiltrated three warships deep into the territorial waters of the north side south of Kuwol Hill in Kangryong County, South Hwanghae Province. At around 09:25 it repeatedly threatened over a loud-speaker peaceable fishing boats of the north side in their normal fishing operation that it would fire at them if they did not go back.
    At the same time it let fighters fly in a two-plane formation several times above Yonphyong Islands, threatening the north side's fishing boats.
    Such military provocations are nothing but premeditated provocations of the south Korean military authorities to deliberately escalate again the tension in the controversial waters where two skirmishes occurred in the West Sea.
    Such military provocations are a continuation of the recent evermore undisguised intrusion of south Korean warships into the territorial waters of the north side. This was prompted by the south Korean military authorities' foolish aim to exercise jurisdiction over these waters, insisting on the so-called "northern limit line" unilaterally drawn by the U.S. imperialists.
    The north will watch with high vigilance the moves to be followed by such provocations committed by the south Korean army right after the adoption of the agreement at the north-south general-level military talks.
    The south Korean military authorities should not run riot, pondering over the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by the possible reoccurrence of armed conflicts in the controversial waters.
