Statement from central Korean Friendship Association

Explains the truth of the November 23rd incident

The DPRK (North Korean side) warned ROK (South Korea) against the “Hoguk” exercise to be staged by the US imperialist aggressor forces and the south Korean puppet fascist armed forces many times.


The map above shows the “Northern Limit Line” (NLL). The line was unilaterally set by the US led United Nations military forces on August 30, 1953. It is not officially recognized by DPRK (North Korea). In particular, it is not included into the Armistice Agreement of 1953. The line was originally drawn to prevent southern incursions into the north – however its role has since transformed to prevent DPRK ships heading south.

On 23nd of November at 1300 local time the South Korean fired shots inside the Northern Limit Line, towards DPRK. At 1434 upon receiving the order from the Supreme Command of the Korean People’s Army, we returned fire against the South Korean attackers based in the military camp of Yongpyong.

The answer against the South Korean provocation shows that DPRK honour its promise as stated before and announced in KCNA that any aggression against the North will be met with material response.

The DPRK does not expect Lee Myung-Bak and his clique nor the US to continue escalating the conflict as it is demonstrated that DPRK has the superior power and will not bow down to the imperialist who try to stifle and isolate the DPRK.

The DPRK urges South Korea and USA to renounce its current hardline anti-DPRK sentiment and resume the peace talk on a respectful one to one dialogue.
