Spokesman for KPA General Staff Issues Statement


Pyongyang, October 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) issued the following statement on Oct. 19:


Following on October 13 and 14, the enemies committed another military provocation inciting the DPRK in the area along the Military Demarcation Line on Oct. 18.


They fired dozens of shells of multiple rocket launchers in the forefront area of Cholwon County, South Kangwon Province from 9:55 to 17:22 on Oct. 18.


The situation on the Korean peninsula is getting worse due to the enemies' repeated military provocations in the forefront area.


The KPA General Staff took a specially serious note of the provocative moves committed at a time when "Hoguk 22", the enemy's war drill against the north, is going on in a frantic manner. In order to send a serious warning once again, it made sure that KPA units on the east and west fronts conducted a threatening, warning fire toward the east and west seas in the night of Oct. 18, as a powerful military countermeasure.


The enemies should immediately stop the reckless and inciting provocations escalating the military tension in the forefront area. -0-
