A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea released the following press statement "Gambling with the lives of people will result in miserable ruin" on October 13:

The Republic of Korea persists in letting out lame excuses and impudent rubbish despite the fact that it perpetrated a grave provocation of violating the sovereignty of the DPRK.

The national security office chief of the puppet presidential office spouted such rubbish that "defiance" of the warning is "the most correct answer," far from seriously reflecting on the case and making efforts to prevent recurrence.

The territory of the ROK will be mercilessly plunged into a terrible disaster in case of recurrence. However, he asserts defiance is the correct answer. It seems that he has secured an assurance of recurrence prevention although he says he doesn’t know the one behind the case.

The world has clearly heard such absurd remarks unhesitatingly let out by a guy responsible for the security of the ROK.

Any tiny spark may trigger an armed clash on the Korean peninsula physically in a state of hostilities.

So it is needless to say that the infiltration of drones playing a primary striking role on current battlefields into airspace above the capital city of a belligerent country constitutes an undeniable war provocation.

Now a hair-trigger situation, in which a war may break out any moment, is prevailing on the Korean peninsula due to the reckless bravery of the ROK’s military.

Now that powerful attack means might be used according to our judgment and decision and the whole ROK might turn into piles of ashes, the man with the title of security office chief only busies himself with face saving, bluffing with nasty language and gambling with the lives of his people. We are curious about the follow-up rating of his behavior.

Then, let us consider once again the stand of the ROK’s minister of defense taking an ambiguous stand without denying or acknowledging the current situation.

The drone that had infiltrated into the sky above the capital city of our Republic is not the one that can be flied by a civilian organization anywhere.

It is the one to be flied with special launcher or runway so such excuse that it was flied by civilians can not work.

Then, let’s assume that the drone provocation was committed by a civilian organization used as an excuse, as claimed by the Ministry of Defense of the ROK.

Can it be understood that its military and police, which claim are put on "high alert", failed to notice civilian organizations flying drones across the border by using a launcher or a runway?

We have already judged that the military of the ROK is behind a series of drone infiltrations. And we warn repeatedly that we will take action according to our judgment, regarding any drones to be spotted again as the ones from the ROK and deeming it a declaration of war.

It had better interpret the meaning of the word "terrible ruin" and judge what choice we will make true to our declaration about terrible ruin.
