“These are inevitable and legitimate measures based on the requirements of the Constitution of the Republic, which has defined the Republic of Korea as an absolutely hostile state, and the serious security situation, which is reaching the brink of unpredictable war due to a serious military and political provocation by hostile forces,” the statement said,
A representative of the DPRK Ministry of Land and Environmental Protection confirmed that the explosion had no negative impact on the environment and that the communication route between the DPRK and the ROK was thoroughly severed as a result of these measures.
