Xinhua News Agency, Pyongyang, May 8 (Reporter Jiang Yaping Hong Kerun) According to the Korean Central News Agency on the 8th, a spokesman for the Korean People ’s Armed Forces Province issued a statement on the 7th, saying that South Korea ’s joint air and sea military exercises in the western waters of North Korea are " Seriously provocative "behavior.
According to reports, the South Korean military launched more than 20 fighter jets and high-speed maritime craft on June 6 to conduct joint military exercises in the western waters of North Korea.
The spokesman said that the joint military exercise took place in the air and at sea in parts of the western military conflict area in the past, especially under the assumption of the so-called "abnormal signs" and "provocation" in North Korea. The move is a serious provocation that cannot be ignored. It is a situation where we have to take the necessary measures. We must say that it is a controversial and deliberate act of confrontation. "
The spokesman also said that the South Korean military ’s risky military provocations completely violated the previously promised cessation of all hostile actions by sea, land and air, and it was an act of betrayal, making “everything returned to its original point before the 2018 North-South Summit.”
In 2018, North Korea ’s top leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Wen Jae-in held three summit meetings and reached relevant agreements. According to the agreement, the two sides will stop all hostile acts in all sea, land and air spaces that cause military tension and conflict.
