In this regard, So Song Il, director of the Socio-politics Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences, told KCNA:

The DPRK government made a series of epoch-making proposals to mend the worsened north-south relations with the 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation as an occasion.

But, the south Korean puppet group kicked off the Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises in league with the U.S. forces while resorting to the leaflet-scattering operations and psychological broadcasting against the DPRK under the pretext of doubtful "landmine explosion" case.

The Park Geun Hye group of south Korea is now faced with uncontrollable ruling crisis. So, it is trying to find a way out in creating war atmosphere.

The provokers will no longer evade the merciless punishment since they took the road of war by firing shells at the inviolable territory of the DPRK.
