The Hill:
North Korean officials on Friday knocked their South Korean counterparts in a statement carried on state television, calling a weapons test carried out this week a response to perceived warmongering from the South.
The Associated Press reported that a statement released on North Korean television referred to “South Korean military warmongers” and said that this week’s weapons test likely panicked their adversaries.Accusing the South of implementing “ultramodern offensive weapons,” North Korean officials stated that the test early Thursday morning, which resulted in two projectiles fired near the city of Wonsan, “must have given uneasiness and agony to some targeted forces, enough as it intended.”
The statement goading South Korea’s military comes after the joint U.S. and South Korean forces declared that the missile test a day before had not endangered South Korean or U.S. interests.
