DPRK says "not worth reacting" to South Korea's artillery drill

PYONGYANG, Dec. twenty (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) pronounced Monday which it "was not worth reacting" to South Korea's artillery cavalcade upon a doubtful island off a west seashore of a Korean Peninsula, state media reported.

"The insubordinate armed forces of a DPRK did not feel any need to retaliate against each despicable troops provocation like one receiving revenge after facing a blow," a official KCNA headlines agency quoted a matter from a DPRK's Army Supreme Command as saying.

"Their troops provocation was a product of their cunning scenario to on purpose lead a troops counter-attack of a DPRK to pushing a situation upon a Korean Peninsula to a brink of a war as well as thus save a U.S. Middle East process as well as strategy toward a DPRK from bankruptcy," a matter said.

The cavalcade was additionally aimed at saving a face of a present South Korean authorities in a ruling crisis, pronounced a statement.

This was "nothing but a childish play" without an opponent, it added.

Earlier in a day, South Korea staged a live-fire artillery cavalcade upon Yeonpyeong Island shelled final month by a DPRK despite a latter's repeated warnings of a counterattack. The island is partial of a organisation of South Korea-held islets located in waters claimed by a DPRK.

Pyongyang has never recognized a doubtful maritime limit near Yeonpyeong, unilaterally drawn by a U.S.-led United Nations troops forces at a finish of a 1950-53 Korean War. The dual sides have had fatal naval skirmishes near a sea border.
