Kim Jong Un Inspects KPA Air and Anti-Air Force Unit

Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, inspected KPA Air and Anti-Air Force Unit 991 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led Seventh Regiment.

He went round the monument to the field guidance provided by leader Kim Jong Il on March 2, 2006 erected to convey his leadership exploits to posterity, looking back on the feats performed by President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in developing the Juche-oriented air force.

Thanks to their matchless and distinguished ability to command the army and meticulous care the Juche-based air force could fly in the vast sky with loyalty to safeguard the party and revolution only and glorify the proud history of its development as a matchless service of the army strong in idea and morality, he said.

Noting that the Juche-oriented air force is the precious revolutionary legacy left by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, he stressed that the feats performed by them in building the Juche-oriented air force will shine forever.

He learned about the situation of the unit from its commander and praised it for having made flight drills a part of everyday life as intended by the party, exerted sustained efforts to study and round off the Juche-based methods of air battle, trained pilots to be death-defying corps in the sky and able combat airmen capable of successfully performing any combat duty of modern warfare and put aircraft, weapons and combat and technical equipment on regular alert.

After asking commanding officers about the supply service in the unit and airmen's living conditions in detail, he underlined the need to pay deep attention to the supply service and their living conditions as the unit is stationed in the far-flung northern end and settle the problems in good time on a priority basis.

Going round the lecture room of the squadron and general lecture room for piloting drill, he acquainted himself in detail with the airmen's study and flight training.

"If airmen are to be ready to satisfactorily perform their combat missions under any unfavorable circumstances and conditions any time, it is good to let them undergo a lot of training with the help of piloting training equipment", he said, underlining the need for all of them to study hard methods of taking off and landing on strange airfields and air attack zones and terrain of anti-air defence and acquire well flight methods in bad weather and get fully trained through steady training with the help of seats and apparatuses.

He had a photo session with the airmen of the unit, expressing the expectation and belief that they would continue to decorate the blue sky of the country with heroic feats in the future, too, by carrying forward the shining tradition of the proud unit which produced many airmen of distinguished services including heroes of the Republic under the energetic leadership and warm loving care of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

He was accompanied by KPA Vice Marshal Hwang Pyong So, director of the General Political Bureau of the KPA, KPA Air Force General Ri Pyong Chol, commander of the KPA Air and Anti-Air Force, Army Col. General So Hong Chan, first vice-minister of the People's Armed Forces, and Army Col. General Pak Jong Chon, vice-chief of the KPA General Staff and director of its Fire Command Department.

KPA Southwestern Front Command Issues Warning to S. Korean Military

Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) -- The southwestern front command of the Korean People's Army (KPA) released a report Friday as regards the fact that the south Korean puppet military warmongers are getting evermore pronounced in confrontation and provocation moves against the DPRK though four years have passed after the Yonphyong Island shelling incident.

The south Korean puppet military warmongers are mulling concluding the Hoguk joint military exercises with madcap live-shelling drills on Paekryong and Yonphyong islands with the backing of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces present in south Korea.

They are planning to hold even a military parade as well as "memorial service", "awarding ceremony", "floral visit", etc. for those provokers who met a miserable end on the occasion of Nov. 23, the day of the Yonphyong Island shelling incident.

The world knows no one but the puppet military warmongers who go so brazen as to hold even such "ceremony" by painting the defeat as "victory", the report said, and went on:

The KPA officers and men on the southwestern front sharply watch with high vigilance the warmongers keen only on driving the situation to an extreme phase through provocations in the acute hotspot waters, still without discretion.

Ridiculous is such behavior of those defeated provokers, who ardently asked the KPA to stop shelling at that time when the island was turned into a "hell of death" and "everything there was being reduced into ashes" by its shower of fire for justice.

It is the retaliatory will of the stalwart fighters on the southwestern front greeting the fourth anniversary of their victory in the Yonphyong Island shelling to bury the provokers at the bottom of sea for good so that they may not say even about "retrieval of defeat".

The mad provokers are bound to be beaten or killed by the KPA. It is their inevitable and miserable fate.

The sound of gunfire by the KPA in the Yonphyong Island shelling will remain an echo of victory forever, but it will always remain a dirge of defeat for the provokers.

The south Korean military warmongers should never forget the lesson from the bitter defeat in the Yonphyong Island shelling all the time, the report warned.

CPRK Raps S. Korean Authorities' Politically Motivated Provocation

Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) on Friday released a statement assailing the south Korean puppet group for pushing its campaign of hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK to an extreme pitch.

Betes noires of the puppet ultra-right conservative organizations including the Phohang branch of the "Association of Those with Special Mission" held a rally for inciting the confrontation with the DPRK at the plaza before the Phohang City Office in North Kyongsang Province on Thursday afternoon on the 4th anniversary of the Yonphyong Island shelling incident and staged a farce of hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

This farce timed to coincide with the largest-ever combined landing drill in Phohang for a sudden attack on the north was a carefully-worked-out deliberate politically motivated provocation of the south Korean authorities from A to Z, the statement noted, and continued:

The reality goes to prove that the Park Geun Hye group is talking volumes about "confidence", "dialogue" and "peace" but is dreaming of achieving its ambition for "unification of the social systems" with the sinister intention to escalate the confrontation.

The DPRK has declared more than once that it would never pardon any act of hurting the dignity of its supreme leadership but mercilessly punish it.

Under the situation where the puppet group openly revealed its real intention not to rule out even a war by malignantly hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, the life and soul of the Korean people, the DPRK will more significantly bolster up the striking power corresponding to it and mercilessly punish the provokers by unimaginable means and methods.

The south Korean puppet forces will be held wholly responsible for all catastrophic consequences to be entailed in the north-south relations in the future.
