Begin my translation:
From a dispatch in Seoul per Japanese JIJI wire services, North Korea’s Central News Agency [KCNA] on Wednesday, May 27th said that with South Korea’s threatened “total” participation in the PSI Initiative (which allows North Korean ships to be stopped and checked by various nations for nuclear weapons being exported) that it amounts to a “declaration of war against North Korea”.
The statement was released by the North Korean military representative in Panmunjom military armistace area. He iterated that from now on, South Korean and American vessels traveling in the Yellow Sea (West Sea, just off the West Coast of North Korea), cannot be guaranteed as safe. In the statement, the names of ROK President Lee and Obama of the USA were singled out, and said they are responsible for a “furthering a war situation on the Korean peninsula”. It threatened military action due to the decision by South Korea to participate full-fledged in the PSI initiative.
