West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

Pyongyang, October 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released the following press statement "Reckless challenge hysteria will hasten the miserable end of the ROK" on October 13:

The Ministry of Defense of the puppet Republic of Korea, which went busy shirking responsibility after perpetrating an extremely dangerous politically-motivated military provocation by using even drones, world-recognized major military attack means, has finally and fully betrayed its true colors as chief provocateur and culprit.

Much upset by the frosty public gaze and media hype, the puppet Ministry of Defense slipped off its veil of ambiguity just within 24 hours and made public what it called a statement of its stand on Sunday, in which it let out a string of impudent rubbish turning black into white that branded our just will to exercise the right to self-defence as "a typical trick to breed discord in the south and turn the tide of situation" and held the DPRK "wholly accountable for the current situation." Worse still, it officially announced its reckless suicidal choice, disgustingly and impudently touting once again the "end of regime" in the DPRK.

This is just an unpardonable, malicious challenge to our state and people that offered with maximum patience an opportunity once again to it as an ultimatum, and a hideous crime of seeking to light a fuse for the outbreak of a war at any cost.

The world should correctly know those silly, stupid and dangerous ones.

They go beyond human knowledge and imagination in their recklessness, affected by weird mutations.

They defend their country and people with bluffing and tongue-lashing.

They will be in a fit of hysteria until their miserable deaths.

Such scum should be thrown into a dumping ground.

It seems that the gangsters of Seoul persist in bluffing, still failing to properly judge the circumstances and misjudging the current situation as a trade of insult.

The military gangsters of the ROK should refrain from acting rashly.

They should immediately opt for guaranteeing the prevention of recurrence of such provocation as violating the airspace of another country. -0-
