Press statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice-Department Director of WPK CC
The most childish and ignorant Republic of Korea is resorting to a stereotyped method pertaining to its inborn nature to evade the blame for the recent drone intrusion case.
As soon as the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued a crucial statement, the military gangsters of the Republic of Korea were busy trying to evade the responsibility while making a shameless and childish excuse, saying "they did not do it and have not yet grasped the situation" and "the military did not send drones to the north and should confirm the fact that a non-governmental organization might send drones".
It is a miscalculation if the Republic of Korea thought that they could go unpunished after committing such grave infringement upon the sovereignty of our state, though the military impudently asserts that they did not do it, and avoid the concern of the international community.
It would be evidently problematic if the military did not identify that drones by a non-governmental organization crossed the border at random.
The military of the Republic of Korea has loudly advertised its "watertight detection and tracking ability".
The military would strain its nerves, mistaking a flying flock of birds for "drones from the north". Then, did it become blind all of a sudden?
It has asserted that the fact about drones from its region, which had crossed the border several times, should be confirmed. Accordingly, I wonder what the people in the Republic of Korea talk about the military.
Leaflet-scattering over the capital city of the opponent country is regarded as a grave politically-motivated provocation and an infringement upon sovereignty, but what is the basic gravity of the recent case is the fact that drones are means which carried those leaflets.
If the military has connived at the fact that its people committed an act of openly infringing upon other's sovereignty by use of drones recognized by the world as an undeniable military multi-purpose means and at the fact that such infringement means that can be considered to be provocative can cause an incident fostering the danger of armed conflict, crossing the border of an opponent country, it is a deliberate connivance and conspiracy and only provides a clear proof that the leading figures in the drone infiltration case are none other than the military gangsters.
Even though they boasted that they are the "strong ROK army", talking about "together with the people" on the "ROK army day" some days ago, they are using the people as a shield without hesitation at a blind alley. Their sordid wordplay only reveals the meanness and baseness of the military of the Republic of Korea.
As their assertion shows, it means that though our non-governmental organizations scatter political agitation leaflets in the sky over the presidential office in Seoul with drones, it is not problematic.
I'd like to watch how the government of the Republic of Korea and, in particular, the military gangsters will respond to such real thing.
In conclusion, the military of the Republic of Korea directly committed the drone infiltration case or the provocation of infringing upon the sovereignty of the DPRK was committed under its positive fostering and connivance.
Indeed, the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of Korea, when his petty excuse of shifting the blame to the non-governmental organization did not work, expressed his uncertain attitude, saying "it is impossible to confirm it strategically in terms of national security and strategic security".
Such attitude of neither denying nor admitting the case proves that the military admitted by itself that it is the chief criminal or accomplice of the current incident as a revelation of its mental state that it will not admit the case, unable to deny it.
It is little short of an open declaration that even though a provocation of infringing upon the sovereignty of the DPRK that "cannot be confirmed" is repeated or it leads to the outbreak of war, they have no responsibility for it.
As we have already foreseen and the world has witnessed at all times, this time, too, the Republic of Korea is trying hard to distort the truth and deceive the world people with groundless assertion made by it with its habitual excuse and deformed thinking.
Revealed before the world once again were the base nature and astonishing real picture of those dangerous to gamble with the lives of the people.
Clear is that the scum of the Republic of Korea conducted a rubbish balloon campaign with provocative nature for the first time and those of the Republic of Korea have steadily aggravated the situation, far from abandoning their dirty bad habit despite our warning.
The Republic of Korea is crying that we had flied "dirty balloons" 28 times just like a guilty party filing the suit first but it is well advised to make public how many times the organizations of defectors from the DPRK did such acts before it calculates the times.
All our act is an essential measure taken on the principle of correspondence.
No matter how desperately the Republic of Korea may try to mislead public opinion as if our correspondence is taken without reason, it will not come up to its intention.
We have no concern about who is the main force of provoking the recent drone incident and its performers.
We only look squarely at the fact that whatever the military gangsters and an organization of human scum who defected from the DPRK, they are the fellows of the shameless Republic of Korea.
As we repeat our clear stand, we will take a strong corresponding retaliatory action in disregard of ingredient in case drones carrying anti-DPRK political motivation rubbish from the Republic of Korea across the border infiltrate again into the territorial sky of the DPRK.
This is the exercise of the sovereign state's right to self-defense that cannot be considered.
Those who are not taking any proper stand to check escalation of tension and armed conflict but making a bluff and lame excuse with reckless courage, even though they made Seoul Municipality and the whole of the Republic of Korea a target and put their people on the kitchen board will certainly hear only the people's voices of criticism.
They will be well advised to worry about the immediate price for repeated provocation and cope with it.
Even though the military of the Republic of Korea is racking their brain to evade the responsibility for their infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK with incoherent impudence and abnormal sophism, they will certainly pay a dear price for violently infringing upon the inviolable sovereignty of our state and doing a serious harm to its security in any way.
I hope that the people will judge whether the strong and brave reckless and bold attitude of the military of the Republic of Korea which jumps from the frying pan into the fire will defend the genuine safety of the Republic of Korea.
As I reaffirm once again, as clarified by the DPRK Foreign Ministry, our attack time for destroying Seoul and the military force of the Republic of Korea is not clarified in our military action plan.
That time is not set by us.
However, the moment that a drone of the Republic of Korea is discovered in the sky over our capital city once again will certainly lead to a horrible disaster.
Personally, I wish that such thing will not happen.
