Press statement of spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following press statement "Gambling with the lives of people will result in miserable ruin" on October 13:

The Republic of Korea persists in letting out lame excuses and impudent rubbish despite the fact that it perpetrated a grave provocation of violating the sovereignty of the DPRK.

The national security office chief of the puppet presidential office spouted such rubbish that "ignoring" the warning is "the most correct answer," far from seriously reflecting on the case and making efforts to prevent recurrence.

The territory of the ROK will be mercilessly plunged into a terrible disaster in case of recurrence. However, he asserts ignoring is the correct answer. It seems that he has secured an assurance of recurrence prevention although he says he doesn't know who is behind the case.

The world must have clearly heard such absurd remarks unhesitatingly let out by a guy responsible for the security of the ROK.

Any tiny spark may trigger an armed clash on the Korean peninsula physically in a state of hostilities.

So it is needless to say that the infiltration of drones playing a primary striking role on current battlefields into the airspace above the capital city of a belligerent country undeniably constitutes an act of war provocation.

Now a hair-trigger situation, in which a war may break out any moment, is prevailing on the Korean peninsula due to the reckless bravery of the ROK's military.

Now that powerful attack means might be used according to our judgment and decision and the whole ROK might turn into piles of ashes, the man with the title of security office chief only busies himself with face saving, bluffing with nasty language and gambling with the lives of his people. We are curious about the follow-up rating of his behaviour.

Then, let us consider once again the stand of the ROK's minister of defense taking an ambiguous stand without denying or admitting the current situation.

The drone that had infiltrated into the sky above the capital city of the DPRK is not the one that can be flown by a non-governmental organization from anywhere.

It is the one that can be flown with a special launcher or runway, so such excuse that it was flown by non-governmental organizations cannot work.

Then, let's assume that the drone provocation was committed by a non-governmental organization used as an excuse, as claimed by the Ministry of Defense of the ROK.

Can it be understood that its military and police, which they claim are put on "high alert", failed to notice non-governmental organizations flying drones across the border by using a launcher or a runway?

We have already judged that the military of the ROK is behind a series of drone infiltrations. And we warn repeatedly that we will take action according to our judgment, regarding any drones coming again as the ones from the ROK and deeming it a declaration of war.

They had better interpret the meaning of the words "complete ruin" and judge what choice we could make according to our declaration about the complete ruin.
