According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 22nd, the head of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Yoo-jung issued a warning in response to remarks made by the South Korean presidential office's special defense policy adviser, demanding that South Korea not interfere with North Korea's normal border project, and that the project to permanently advance the southern border of North Korea will continue unswervingly. Kim Yo-jung said that North Korea did not carry out any “provocation,” but rather responded appropriately. Once the border between North Korea and South Korea is fortified, the risk of military conflict will be significantly reduced, and many complex issues will also be resolved. According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 21st, Kim and Jeong-jung Cheon issued a statement saying that psychological warfare amplifiers against South Korea will be put into operation across the border this month. Kim Yo-jung stressed that if the enemy's warning fire results in actual danger to North Korea's territorial security and the personal safety of officers and soldiers, then the North Korean border officers and soldiers will respond without hesitation. Later on the 21st, Kim Byeong-joo, a special adviser on defense policy at the South Korean presidential office, criticized North Korea's statement and urged North Korea to immediately apologize for South Korea's provocation.
