Beijing, June 23 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry at a news briefing on June 21 urged south Korea to ensure the security of civil airliners.

Recently a civil airplane, which took off in Chengdu of China, met accidental firing by the army of south Korea when it entered its sky.

The Chinese government had already expressed apprehension over this case to the south Korean side through diplomatic channel, the spokesman noted.

The south Korean side should take an effective step to prevent recurrence of such case so as to reliably ensure the safety of civil airplanes and passengers, he said.
