Pyongyang, October 9 (KCNA) -- The General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) issued the following report on Wednesday:
The hostile forces are getting ever more reckless in their confrontational hysteria, openly revealing their scheme to use armed forces in violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK. This pushes the grave security situation of the Korean peninsula to a more unpredictable phase.
Amid various war exercises for aggression being staged simultaneously in the region of the ROK every day near the southern border of the DPRK, strategic nuclear assets of the U.S. frequent the region and the war maniacs loudly talk about the "end of regime" in the DPRK so often. This proves the gravity of the situation that can never be overlooked.
The acute military situation prevailing on the Korean peninsula requires the armed forces of the DPRK to take a more resolute and stronger measure in order to more creditably defend the national security.
Given the critical situation where touch-and-go danger of war is ever-escalating in the area along the southern border of the DPRK, the General Staff of the KPA proclaims that it will take a substantial military step to completely separate the territory of the DPRK, where its sovereignty is exercised, from the territory of the ROK (Republic of Korea).
To this end, a project will be launched first on October 9 to completely cut off roads and railways connected to the ROK and fortify the relevant areas of our side with strong defence structures.
For our army to permanently shut off and block the southern border with the ROK, the primary hostile state and invariable principal enemy, in the current situation is a self-defensive measure for inhibiting war and defending the security of the DPRK.
Our army sent a telephone message to the U.S. forces side at 09:45 of September 9, prompted by an intention to prevent any misjudgment and accidental conflict over the fortification project to be launched in the acute southern border area. -0-
