[quote] North Korea will fire across a land border with South Korea if Seoul continues its anti-North psychological campaign, the North's official media said on Sunday ahead of a joint military drill between the United States and South Korea. South Korea's military has been dropping leaflets into North Korea about democracy protests in Egypt as part of a psychological campaign and the South Korean military also sent food, medicines and radios for residents in a bid to encourage North Koreans to think about change. "The on-going psychological warfare by the puppet military in the frontline area is a treacherous deed and a wanton challenge to the demand of the times and desire of all the fellow countrymen to bring about a new phase of peaceful reunification and national prosperity through all-round dialogue and negotiations," KCNA news agency said. "We officially notify that our army will stage a direct fire at the Rimjin Pavilion and other sources of the anti-DPRK psychological warfare to destroy them on the principle of self-defense, if such actions last despite our repeated warning." The Rimjin Pavilion is an area in South Korea near the heavily armed Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) which separates the two Koreas. North Korea will also be on a heightened state of alert for possible provocation during the joint military drill between the United States and South Korea which starts on Monday, KCNA said. It said North Korea will respond to the planned military drills with "all-out war" if there is any provocation. Tensions rose on the divided peninsula when 46 sailors were killed in an attack last March on a South Korean naval vessel. North Korea, which has denied responsibility, shelled the southern island of Yeonpyeong last November, killing four people. Their first attempt at talks broke down earlier in February dealing a setback to plans to resume international disarmament talks with the North. North Korea has said it wants to return to the broader six-party negotiations, but Seoul and Washington have questioned its sincerity about denuclearizing -- pointing to its revelations in November about a uranium-enrichment program. While the two sides are not talking, analysts have said that the risk of what both sides call a "provocation" increases, and acts of brinkmanship by the North could include military drills or attack, or the testing of a missile or nuclear device. South Korea's news agency Yonhap quoted a local analyst as saying: "North Korea reacts very sensitively as it thinks power of psychological leaflets is bigger than that of nuclear bombing." North Korea maintains tight control over communications, including the use of telephones and over movement of people, leaving many in the country unaware of world affairs. South Korea's military has resumed its campaign of speaking directly to North Korean residents after the North bombarded the southern island of Yeonpyeong near a disputed sea border in November. The South's Yonhap news agency said a week ago that North Korea was digging tunnels at a site where it has launched two nuclear tests, suggesting it is preparing a third.

But at the same time I can't help but feel this is the closest we've come to war with North Korea. Edit: typo in "threatens" in the title, can a mod fix it? :)
Just like every other time the North has threatened something, nothing will come of it. /cue the pre-emptive action crowd
North: Drops bombs South:Drops leaflets

How dare Worst Korea give Best Koreans food and medicine. Real followers of the great leader don't need to eat or get sick.

Best Korea is already occupied with petty riots of unpatriotic citizens and has no trouble dealing with multiple fronts at once.
[QUOTE=Explosions;28316143]Really? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardment_of_Yeonpyeong[/url][/QUOTE] By "something" I mean all-out war like they've threatened in the past, such as after the aforementioned bombardment.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;28316152]By "something" I mean all-out war like they've threatened in the past, such as after the aforementioned bombardment.[/QUOTE] They have no threatened all "all-out war" here. They have threatened the shelling of "the Rimjin Pavilion and other sources of the anti-DPRK psychological warfare" which is a threat that I believe they may carry out.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;28316152]By "something" I mean all-out war like they've threatened in the past, such as after the aforementioned bombardment.[/QUOTE] It's usually a string of events that lead up to a war, for all we know the military drills next week may be the cue for war given the bombardment of Yeonpyeong in November, the sinking of the Cheonan in March and all the countless incidents before that. Of course I also doubt anything will come of this, even if the population does start protesting.
Meh, I'm getting bored of NK's hollow threats, but I'm also getting bored of SK doing things to purposely piss NK off

Nothing will happen.
Here we go again.
and in other news the sun rose today
Cue ricepaper bombs exploding in their silos.
Someone should just drop a cruise missile containing a warhead of aerosol MDMA directly on Kim's palace. Then instead of dropping artillery on SK, he'll be dropping love.
