Military Urged to Ponder over Consequences to Be Entailed by Escalating Tension

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 21 (KCNA) -- The south Korean military authorities should ponder over the serious consequences to be entailed by the military tension mounting in the West Sea of Korea and bring the situation under control without delay. A spokesman for the Navy Command of the Korean People's Army urged this in his answer given to the question raised by KCNA Friday.
    He recalled that the south Korean military authorities recently infiltrated battleships into the waters of the north side in the West Sea of Korea one after another, straining the situation there. The cases of their intrusion numbered 28 this month, he added, and continued:
    On Jan. 17, 18 and 21, they committed such military provocation as infiltrating battleships into the waters south of Kuwol Hill of the north side.
    Each time the intrusion was made the Navy of the KPA served warning over walkie-talkie available aboard warships of both sides, demanding they quit there at once. But the south Korean army seriously got on the nerves of seamen of the north side by making such provocative reply as "it does not recognize those waters."
    Meanwhile, the south Korean military authorities are letting media spread the nonsensical story about the "north's intrusion."
    These disturbing moves indicate that the south Korean military authorities are pushing the situation to the danger line as they are so keen on preserving the illegal "northern limit line" that they are unable to look ahead even a bit.
    As the two sides stand in confrontation with each other with arms, any foul provocative behaviour on the part of one side against the other side is bound to touch off resentment and any act going beyond its limit is bound to spark a skirmish.
    The U.S. imperialist warmongers want to see this to happen.
    Such act of dancing to their tune, utterly indifferent to the noble idea of the June 15 joint declaration and the points agreed upon at the inter-Korean general-level military talks can be perpetrated only by the group of sycophantic traitors.
