S. Korean Military Warned against Touch-and-Go Situation in West Sea

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, February 7 (KCNA) -- We warn the south Korean military authorities against acting rashly, mindful that if they persist in their reckless military provocations, it will cause unpredictable consequences. This warning is served by the Navy Command of the Korean People's Army in a press release issued Monday as regards the military tension daily escalating in the West Sea of Korea due to their premeditated provocative acts.
    On Feb. 6 and 7 the south Korean military authorities infiltrated their battleship into waters of the north side south of Kuwol Hill in the wake of their similar intrusion on Feb. 4, deliberately escalating the tension there, the press release said, and went on:
    What should not be overlooked is that the spokesman for the navy of the south Korean forces expressed "regret" over the repeated warnings of the north and blustered that they would defend the "northern limit line" to the last.
    This is another intolerable challenge as it stirred up the military stand-off between the north and the south.
    The ceaseless intrusion of south Korean battleships into the afore-said waters is pushing the stand-off between the two sides to a touch-and-go situation.
