DPRK accuses US, warns of retaliation against ROK

THE military of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) today blamed the United States for "misrepresenting" the shelling incident, warning of retaliations if there are more "military provocations" by South Korea.

"Korean People's Army will deal without hesitation the second and third strong physical retaliatory blow" in that case, the Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army said in a notice sent to US forces in South Korea, according to the official KCNA news agency.

The KCNA blamed the United States for its attempt to misrepresent the shelling incident, "while thoughtlessly shielding the South Korean puppet forces who dared make a preempt shelling at the DPRK." The exchange of artillery fire on Tuesday between the two sides killed four people.

In the notice, the DPRK army said the situation goes to prove that it is the South Korean forces "which actually violated the Armistice Agreement and it was none other than the US which sparked off the conflict in the above-said waters."

The notice reiterated the DPRK's claim that it's South Korea fired shells into DPRK territories without announcement while staging military exercises, straining the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
