KCNA also noted that South Korea’s top military leaders have been touring military units calling for an ‘immediate, categorical and consistent’ response to an alleged attack by Pyongyang.

Such bellicose rhetoric sounds more dangerous because it is accompanied by provocative actions,” he warned, citing the recent maneuvers with the United States in the vicinity of the DPRK (December 29 to January 5).

He warned that under these conditions any minor incident could lead to a major conflict and, using the Korean proverb, remarked that a thundercloud often brings a downpour.
