S. Korean Army Commits Grave Military Provocation
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)
Pyongyang, October 9 (KCNA) -- The south Korean army committed a grave military provocation in a forefront area on Oct. 7, according to a military source. At around 12:30 that day south Korean troops entrenched at the MP post near Marker of the Military Demarcation Line No. 0815 in the central sector of the front fired at least 60 12.7 mm caliber machine-gun bullets at servicemen of the Korean People's Army on a routine military duty in the area of the DPRK on the opposite side.
This reckless military provocation perpetrated in broad daylight seriously threatened the lives of KPA servicemen.
This is a blatant challenge to the DPRK and an unpardonable military provocation against it.
This incident did not develop into a military conflict between both sides thanks to the KPA's exercise of high degree of patience and self-restraint.
The south Korean military authorities would be well advised to stop running amuck, pondering over the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by any provocative act in the forefront area where forces of both sides are standing in acute confrontation.
