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.

Thanks for the post.
How are the Japanese reacting to NK threats?
I can imagine they are a bit nervous and irritated.

Damn,
I’m old, not getting, old.
Note I’m old enough to remember that myself.
It ain’t for the faint of heart.
They desire repatriation of the entire Korean peninsula.
They want to own the manufacturing base of Seoul.
They see the deals cut with the ChiComs and think - why not us?
I think they're getting ready to take it to the next level.
Russian, Chinese, Iranian and Nork interests favor war. I think they're all working together to knock the US on it's a$$ and get what they've been wanting all along.
Their goal? Dominance of Eurasia as a coalition.
Every time I see a picture of 0bama with his hand on somone's shoulder, I cringe.
That is such a condescending power gesture, and invasion of other people's space.
If he ever tried that on me, I'd sucker punch him for sure!
The USSS Pueblo taken during LBJ's administration ?
What in 0bama's past indicates that he has any onions?
Where has Mr. "voted present" ever shown courage in leadership, except for condemning born-alive babies to die in hospital closets?
He is behaving now as he did last summer during the Russia-Georgia standoff
I was surprised as I thought it happened a little later than it did.
Looked it up though.
Thanks.
Hussein wont fight for Taiwan...IMO
Hussein won’t fight for the US.
Thank You Slick Willie and Madeliene Half-wit.
Agreed.
The whole rotten bipartisan bunch.
Reprehensible. All of them.
