[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized that North Korea has violated the September 19 agreement and said, "The government is only repeating that it will respond strongly."

Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement on the 17th, "North Korea turned the inter-Korean joint liaison office, built with our citizens' taxes, into ashes in an instant, and today, it is raising the level of its attacks against President Moon with unprecedentedly insulting remarks, rewriting the record of insults."

Spokesperson Kim added, "They hinted at a stronger military provocation by increasing the artillery units in the West Sea, reminiscent of the Yeonpyeong Island shelling, and adding the 'Seoul will be burned to ashes' remark that sparked the 1994 Korean Peninsula war crisis," and said, "The unwavering and firm principles mentioned by the president on June 15, the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration, and the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement have already been firmly broken by North Korea."

He pointed out, "North Korea's threat is now a reality," and said, "If this continues, not only will there be damage to the people and the collapse of national security, but the people will also lose trust in the silent government."

Spokesperson Kim asked on behalf of the people, "Do we have the courage and will to confront the enemy who intends to attack us? What extraordinary preventive measures are in place to protect our citizens? Are we prepared and ready to respond militarily to physical strikes?" and criticized, "North Korea prioritizes actions over words, but we are preparing to extend our hand even after being attacked."
