In a statement he explained that a military provocative act of firing more than a dozen reactive rocket launcher shells in the front area in front of the 5th Corps of the Korean People’s Army (KPA) was carried out again on Wednesday morning.

The enemy’s military provocations reported one after another in the front areas should be stopped immediately, he added.

In view of the fact, the General Staff of the KPA issued an instruction to the units of the KPA’s eastern and western fronts to once again fire a warning shot into the waters of the East and West Seas.

The KPA warned the enemy troops to cease their irritating provocations in the front areas now.

The ROK and U.S. armed forces have been conducting large-scale military exercises for several days now, heightening tensions in the region.
