The south Korean warmongers are now totally denying dialogue, while misjudging the good faith and generosity shown by the DPRK for peace and security of the country and improvement of the inter-Korean relations and even they are escalating military provocations, the article says, and goes on:

Therefore, the situation on the Korean peninsula is again inching close to dangerous and critical one.

The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea in a statement issued as regards the prevailing grave situation solemnly declared the principled stand of the DPRK that if the south Korean authorities deny its just proposal for defusing tension and guaranteeing peace on the Korean peninsula by conducting reckless military provocation, its counteraction will be merciless physical option.

Righteous and merciless will be the DPRK's military strike to punish the provocateurs and disturbers of peace.

We will give annihilating blows to the south Korean warmongers if they make even the slightest provocation in the areas along the Military Demarcation Line, hotspot waters in the West Sea and in any other places while challenging the efforts of the fellow countrymen in the north for the improvement of the north-south relations so that they may not harbor daydream again.

We openly declared that we are fully ready for both peaceful way and non-peaceful way of national reunification to blow up the source of evils in a moment.

The south Korean warmongers should bear in mind that the non-peaceful physical counteraction will bring the north a great victory of national reunification but the group of traitors a miserable defeat, and stop at once the reckless military provocations.
