<Anchor> The



incident that caused our civilians to be killed by guns, and North Korea's request for further investigation by the Blue House, did not respond to the request of the Blue House.

The police and the military are searching, saying that they have invaded their territorial waters, and they have set up a quarantine to quit.



First, I will summarize the contents of North Korea's announcement.

This is reporter Kim A-young.

'Warning to the South', this is the title of North Korea's position in the form of a report from the Chosun Central News Agency this morning.




First of all, the one that stands out is the one that suggests the delivery of Mr. Lee's body.



He said that he was thinking about the procedures and methods to leave it to the South as customary when confirming the body.



We again denied our judgment that the body was burned shortly after being attacked, leaving the possibility of a search for the body on its own.



However, we have publicly expressed dissatisfaction with our military and maritime police search activities.



From then on, they said that our ships and ships had invaded the waters of North Korea, saying that it cannot be overlooked, and a stern warning was given to immediately stop the unauthorized invasion of the maritime military demarcation line.



He also mentioned the possibility of a collision, saying it was foreshadowing an unsavory incident.



Military authorities dismissed allegations of trespassing, claiming that they are conducting normal search activities in the northern limit line of the West Sea and sub-NLL.



Since 1999, North Korea has attempted to neutralize the NLL by claiming a much wider area beyond the NLL as its own baseline, and it brought back the controversy over the West Sea territorial waters, which is a classic conflict between the two Koreas.



As for North Korea, they showed their sincerity with the unusual apology of the top leader, but when the Blue House mentioned the need for further investigations and joint investigations, it seems that the old territorial controversy was touched and a line was drawn.



[Han-beom Cho/Senior Research Fellow, Korea Institute for National Unification: In the notice sent on the 25th, it cannot be seen as a fundamental change in position (I believe.) It seems that the possibility of accepting a neutral and objective investigation is a little slim.]



Although it is possible to take care of the corpse on its own, it is interpreted as revealing the intention to dismiss the joint investigation and, in particular, the South Korean field investigation.
