Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) — Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, released the following press statement on February 18:

I highly appreciate that Jong Tong Yong, minister of Unification of the ROK, officially acknowledged the ROK-born drone’s provocative intrusion into the airspace of our country, expressing regret once again and willingness to prevent reoccurrence on February 18.

Such a foolish act of imperiling oneself should not be repeated.

Terrible consequences will be entailed if such violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK reoccurs, no matter whom the mastermind is and by what means it is carried out. I stress this once again.

This is not a threat but a strong warning.

To take a measure for surely guaranteeing the prevention of reoccurrence of such serious violation of our sovereignty is entirely for the ROK’s existence.

Our military leadership will take a step for heightening vigilance in all sectors along the southern border with the ROK.

The borderline with the enemy should be firmly guarded.
