"Floodlight
directed at the KPA side at random is taken as an intolerable means of
provocation and it will be the target of merciless pinpoint shots," a
statement from North Korea’s chief security officers said.
"The
true aim sought by the provocateurs through their recent act is to
seriously get on the nerves of the KPA soldiers, lead them to take due
countermeasures and label them as provocation."
On Friday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced
that U.S. mainland is now within range of his country's nuclear weapons
after North Korea successfully tested its first submarine-launched
missile.
On Tuesday, U.N. Command in South Korea
accused the North Koreans of planting landmines near the Panmunjom, a
zone where North and South Korean forces stand face-to-face since the
armistice of 1953.
