Grave touch-and-go military tensions are prevailing on the Korean peninsula due to the ROK's wanton violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK through infiltrations of drones into its capital city of Pyongyang.
On October 12, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, estimating that there is a high possibility of the ROK's additional drone infiltration into our airspace above the border and the capital city, conducted relevant undertakings to get units at all levels fully ready for coping with any developments of situation, presupposing the circumstances in which strikes should be made on specific enemy targets immediately after the confirmation of the recurrence of provocation and in which it is impossible to rule out the possibility of an ensuing extended armed conflict.
A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea made public a statement in this regard on the afternoon of October 13.
The spokesman also made public that the General Staff of the KPA issued a preliminary operation directive on October 12 to the combined artillery units along the border and the units taking on an important firepower task to get fully ready to open fire.
According to the spokesman's statement, the General Staff's preliminary operation directive specified an instruction to place eight artillery brigades fully armed at full wartime strength on standby to open fire and complete various operational supply undertakings until 20:00 of October 13.
The General Staff instructed units and sub-units at all levels to intensify monitoring on full alert.
Anti-air observation posts have been reinforced in the capital city of Pyongyang.
