Pyongyang, February 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party Korea, released the following press statement "ROK authorities should take steps to prevent reoccurrence of provocative sovereignty violation" on Feb. 12:
I think it fortunate that Jong Tong Yong, minister of Unification of the ROK, officially expressed regret on February 10 over the case of drone intrusion into the DPRK that occurred at the outset of the new year.
I appreciate it as quite sensible behavior.
But the ROK authorities are required to take preventive measures to surely guarantee that such serious infringement of sovereignty as violating the airspace of our Republic would never happen again, instead of seeking to gloss over with such mere expression of regret the crisis they brought.
Explicitly speaking once again, we don't care who the very manipulator of the drone infiltration into the airspace of the DPRK is and whether it is an individual or a civilian organization.
What we take seriously is just the fact that a ROK-borne drone violated the airspace of our country, a grave encroachment of our sovereignty.
I give advance warning that reoccurrence of such provocation as violating the inalienable sovereignty of the DPRK will surely provoke a terrible response.
Various counterattack plans are on the table and one of them will be chosen without doubt and it will go beyond proportionality.
I warn the ROK authorities to pay heed to prevention so that such a foolish deed would never recur again inside their country. -0-
