“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,
