Command of Southwestern Front of
KPA Blasts S. Korean Military for Shelling Peaceable Fishing Boats of DPRK 

The command of the southwestern front of the Korean People's Army (KPA) released the following report on Aug. 13: 

The south Korean military hooligans committed such a serious military provocation as indiscriminately shelling peaceable fishing boats of the DPRK engaged in their routine fishing operations    in the waters off the southwestern coast on Aug. 12. 

This reckless provocation has pushed the already tense situation in the waters to an unpredictable phase of explosion.  

The gravity of the situation lies in that this military provocation was perpetrated under a carefully worked out premeditated plan. 

The units of the three services of the puppet forces were put on alert and F-16 fighter bombers hovered in the sky above the waters while five speed boats intruded deep into the territorial waters of the DPRK in succession to indiscriminately fire shells at the peaceable boats.  This was truth about the recent provocation. 

The officers and men of the KPA on the southwestern front were already well aware of the despicable true nature of the military gangsters who committed such provocation. 

A sinister aim sought by the puppet forces was to divert elsewhere the public criticism of them thrown into the quagmire by the development of the murder of private first class Yun, a product of vulnerability of the puppet forces who are no more than cannon fodder for the U.S. war of aggression and corrupt and ailing south Korean society, into the ferry Sewol incident of military version and the occurrence of all sorts of slackened military discipline and scandals shocking the world people. 

Another aim sought by the puppet forces was to cause the KPA to take a countermeasure for self-defence through reckless shelling provocation in the hotspot waters and thus create a pretext for conducting Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises for aggression. 

The prevailing situation is compelling the officers and men of the KPA on the southwestern front to lose the last chance of patience. 

Their hearts are burning with the will to take merciless actions to blow up Paekryong Island, Yonphyong Island, Taechong Island and others where military gangsters are entrenched to use the hotspot waters in the West Sea as a starting point of a war and to send to the bottom of the sea the pirate ships intruding into the inviolable territorial waters of the DPRK.  

It is the southwestern waters where bullets and shells are fired regardless of time, where guiltless fishermen of the DPRK were taken away and hair-raising atrocities were perpetrated against them, and where frequent intrusions into territorial waters of the DPRK are committed. 

The enemies should not forget that artillery pieces of the KPA are waiting for the moment to open fire, keeping the headquarters of provocation within their sight. 

Unshakable is the will of the officers and men of the KPA on the southwestern front to make retaliatory shelling to reduce the provokers' reckless shelling to their final destruction. 

The south Korean puppet forces should not misunderstand the patience of the KPA officers and men on the southwest front.

Meeting with representatives of State Duma political party groups

Vladimir Putin had a meeting in Yalta with members of State Duma political party groups. 

The President thanked the State Duma deputies for their unyielding attention to the development of new regions of the Russian Federation, for the consolidation, unity and solidarity that all the State Duma political party groups and all political forces in the country have shown in these fateful days for Sevastopol, Crimea and all of Russia. 

Speaking of the new regions’ development, Vladimir Putin stressed that it is essential for government authorities to take into account local needs. The work of regional and municipal authorities must be organised efficiently, and powers and responsibility need to be precisely allocated. The President noted that many issues in Crimea remained unresolved for decades. Now the most urgent measures are taken to rectify the situation. This concerns, among other things, reliable power supply, the integration of Crimea’s and southern Russia’s systems, and organising communication and transportation access. 

The main goal is to ensure the dynamic development of Crimea and Sevastopol, to make them economically self-sufficient and successful, to create new jobs and develop industry, social services and tourism. This is the purpose of the Federal Targeted Programme for the long-term development of Crimea, which is supported by funding in the amount of 700 billion rubles (about $20 billion) by 2020.

Speaking of the situation in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin said the country has submerged into bloody chaos, a fratricidal conflict; a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe has taken shape in the southeast. Russia is carefully following the developments in the neighbouring state. “We will do all we can to end the conflict as soon as possible, to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine,” Vladimir Putin stressed.

Commenting on the Executive Order on special economic measures to ensure Russia’s security, the President stressed that this was not mere retaliation, but primarily support for local producers, a step aimed at opening up the Russian market to the countries and consumers that are willing and ready to cooperate with Russia. Russia’s decision to introduce sanctions is aimed at the countries that had earlier imposed absolutely unfounded and illegal sanctions against Russia.

Vladimir Putin stressed that regardless of the international political and economic situation, the most important thing for Russia now is domestic affairs, and the goals and tasks set by its citizens. The President said the authorities should focus on national issues. It is important to ensure the high quality of state administration and high living standards. The job is to develop this country in a calm, honest and efficient manner, without shutting out the rest of the world, without breaking ties with partners, but also without allowing a dismissive attitude or mentoring. Russian society needs to consolidate and mobilise itself, but not for war or conflict, not for resistance, but for hard work for Russia and in the name of Russia. The President finds it important to strengthen the unity of Russian society, and a lot here, in his view, depends on the parliamentarians. 

The President said the Defence Ministry drafted additions to the armaments programme and a separate programme for the development of a combat group in Crimea. The programme will not be costly and Crimea will not be manned with excessive personnel or armaments. The President noted that Moscow’s goal in developing its Armed Forces is not militarisation, but making the army more compact and up-to-date. 

Taking part in the meeting were Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin, heads of State Duma political party groups and heads of federal ministries.
