Crucial Statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Friday issued the following crucial statement "The trigger for defending sovereignty and security will be pulled up without hesitation": The ROK is crossing the red line in its provocation against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The most hostile and malicious rogue state, the ROK, committed such a grave political and military provocation as infiltrating drones into Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK. Drone infiltrations were conducted by the ROK on October 3 and 9. They were followed by perpetration of such a hideous crime as scattering a huge number of anti-DPRK smear leaflets over the central part of Pyongyang through a midnight drone infiltration on October 10. Smear leaflets, run through with inflammatory rumors and rubbish tarnishing the national sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK and malignantly hurting its socialist system, were scattered in the central part of the capital city. Not content with scattering leaflets along the border by balloons, the ROK infiltrated even into the sky of the DPRK's capital such drones which can be regarded as military attack means. The case is a serious provocation that can neither be overlooked nor be pardoned. Its provocation beyond the limit line constitutes an open infringement on the sacred national sovereignty and security of the DPRK and a wanton violation of the international law and a grave military attack, for which the ROK must pay a dear price. The ROK should neither justify the recent case in a trite way nor think of shirking its responsibility by making far-fetched assertions again. The case is a typical instance that vividly betrays the national position of the ROK belonging to the most shameless, childish and vulgar category in the world and meanness of its clans. It also evidently shows that the danger of armed conflict is created on the Korean peninsula due to the reckless and adventuristic acts of the ROK. The international community should strongly denounce the bravado of the ROK, which is steadily escalating the danger of military conflict in the region while unhesitatingly committing provocations hard to sustain their aftermath, and unanimously call for thoroughly deterring them. International law does not allow free flight of foreign aircraft or flying objects in the territorial airspace of a country, as well as "harmless flight". The recent intrusion into the airspace is a grave crime encroaching upon the sovereignty of the DPRK and a clear target of the exercise of the right to self-defence. The ROK chose self-destruction and is hastening its doom. In the world, there is no country which will not react to the violation of its airspace and the drones of a hostile country flying over its capital. We regard the recent provocation of the ROK as a serious political and military provocation that deserves retaliation according to the right to self-defence, without any further explanation and necessity. The recent adventurous provocation of the enemies urgently requires our army to promptly judge what kind of action measure should be taken to discharge its sovereignty-defending mission granted by the DPRK Constitution and make a decision on launching the relevant retaliatory action. The Ministry of National Defence, the General Staff and the army at all levels of the DPRK set about the preparations to cope with different occasions of the developing situation. First, all the offensive means of the DPRK, to be involved in getting the military structures near the southern border and in the ROK collapsed, will get ready to carry out their activities promptly at any moment. The stand expressed by our head of state some days ago that the DPRK has no intention to attack the ROK, does not mean that we are not ready to attack the ROK. With the possibility of using all means of attack in readiness, we seriously warn the ROK as an ultimatum again to the last. The ROK should immediately stop such irresponsible and dangerous provocation that may cause an armed conflict and lead to a war between the two sides. If the ROK commits such a provocation as infiltrating a drone into airspace of the DPRK once again, the DPRK will launch an action immediately without any warning. Taking this opportunity, we make it clear once again that the source and cause of all these disasters making the world people uneasy are in the ROK which has scattered political agitation scum into our inviolable territory despite our repeated warnings. The ROK, which wantonly violated the inviolable sovereignty of the DPRK, will face a horrible situation if it continues provocations, not bearing in mind this last warning of the DPRK. The trigger safety device is now off. The time for our attack is not decided by us. We will watch everything in full preparedness. Criminals should no longer gamble at risk for the lives of their people.
Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of WPK Central Committee Pyongyang, October 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released the following press statement "Reckless challenge hysteria will hasten the miserable end of the ROK" on October 13: The Ministry of Defense of the puppet Republic of Korea, which went busy shirking responsibility after perpetrating an extremely dangerous politically-motivated military provocation by using even drones, world-recognized major military attack means, has finally and fully betrayed its true colors as chief provocateur and culprit. Much upset by the frosty public gaze and media hype, the puppet Ministry of Defense slipped off its veil of ambiguity just within 24 hours and made public what it called a statement of its stand on Sunday, in which it let out a string of impudent rubbish turning black into white that branded our just will to exercise the right to self-defence as "a typical trick to breed discord in the south and turn the tide of situation" and held the DPRK "wholly accountable for the current situation." Worse still, it officially announced its reckless suicidal choice, disgustingly and impudently touting once again the "end of regime" in the DPRK. This is just an unpardonable, malicious challenge to our state and people that offered with maximum patience an opportunity once again to it as an ultimatum, and a hideous crime of seeking to light a fuse for the outbreak of a war at any cost. The world should correctly know those silly, stupid and dangerous ones. They go beyond human knowledge and imagination in their recklessness, affected by weird mutations. They defend their country and people with bluffing and tongue-lashing. They will be in a fit of hysteria until their miserable deaths. Such scum should be thrown into a dumping ground. It seems that the gangsters of Seoul persist in bluffing, still failing to properly judge the circumstances and misjudging the current situation as a trade of insult. The military gangsters of the ROK should refrain from acting rashly. They should immediately opt for guaranteeing the prevention of recurrence of such provocation as violating the airspace of another country.
Press Statement of Spokesman for Ministry of National Defence of DPRK Pyongyang, October 13 (KCNA) -- 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.
Press Statement of External Policy Office Chief of DPRK Foreign Ministry Pyongyang, October 14 (KCNA) -- The chief of the External Policy Office of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following press statement "The U.S. frantic anti-DPRK 'human rights' conspiratorial racket will only highlight its completely bankrupt policy toward the DPRK" on October 13: The U.S. anti-DPRK "human rights" pressure racket for tarnishing the image of the dignified DPRK and justifying its illegal, hostile policy to it has reached an extremely reckless phase. Recently, the "human rights envoy" and the roving ambassador in charge of international criminal and judicial affairs of the U.S. Department of State invited the authorities of the puppet ROK and various riff-raff "human rights" organizations to a confab in Seoul for breeding a "human rights" plot against our state. Earlier, a high-ranking official of the U.S. Department of State was closeted with those from its vassal countries on the theme of "human rights" in the UN arena. Notably, the "human rights envoy" of the U.S. Department of State asserted that "influx of information and spread of religion" in the DPRK constitute the "core pillar of the U.S. policy toward north Korea," thus acknowledging that it is the goal of the current U.S. administration's policy toward the DPRK to bring its ideology and social system to collapse. The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK strongly denounces and rejects the "human rights" trumpeting of the U.S., the world's worst human right abuser country, branding it as a wanton violation of the dignity and sovereignty of our state and a grave politically-motivated provocation against it. Now the attempts to overthrow social systems of other countries and moves to interfere in their internal affairs, being openly committed by the U.S. under the signboard of "human rights, have become the root cause of fomenting political disorder and armed conflicts and causing massacres of civilians across the world. This proves that the "human rights" farce and "information influx" spearheaded by the U.S. are, indeed, the most serious threat to global peace and stability. Witnessing the crude and mean behavior of the present U.S. administration seeking to “decorate” the finale of its term with such disgusting anti-DPRK "human rights" racket, we can clearly see the inner world of the White House exasperated by the situation of its DPRK policy that has been worn out structurally and has gone belly up politically. The U.S. should be aware that its futile "human rights" racket will only further highlight the true colors of its "denuclearization" policy that ended in a real flop. Steadfast is our determination and will to firmly defend our national sovereignty, political system and wellbeing of the people politically, physically and legally, coping with the U.S. and its followers' ever-aggravating anti-DPRK "human rights" moves. The DPRK will mercilessly eliminate any objects and elements posing a threat to its sovereignty and security and continue to take practical measures to defend the rights and interests of its people with recourse to its great strength. This will inevitably hasten the arrival of the reality that the U.S. doesn’t wish and is most afraid of.
