It is the traditions of the invincible Paektusan army to punish any aggressors without mercy, said Ra Yong Sun, vice-director of the Scientific Research Department of the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum.

He further said:

The heroic seamen of the KPA sank and damaged 10-odd enemy warships in a fierce skirmish which occurred in the West Sea of Korea.

Our servicepersons destroyed with strong strikes the military posts and barracks of the enemies in the area of the Military Demarcation Line all at once whenever they made provocations by firing bullets and shells toward the DPRK side.

The Yonphyong Island shelling case gives a glimpse of the KPA's resolute and merciless counteraction.

Nevertheless, the enemies, oblivious of their past shameful defeats, provoked the DPRK again by firing shells on its military posts.

The heroic KPA will sweep away the reckless provokers to the last one at once when an order for attack is given by the Supreme Commander.
