The spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said that the country will response with devastating blow to any interception of the country's satellite launch, DPRK’s official news agency KCNA reported.

Recently Republic of Korea (ROK) claimed it will track and intercept the launch of Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite. It will work together with the United States to track the satellite using advanced monitoring measures and Aegis destroyers in order to provoke new military conflicts, said the spokesman.

Some military activists in ROK threatened to attack Pyongyang, pushing the Peninsula's situation to the edge of war, the spokesman said.

The interception of the country's satellite launch constitutes an act of war and DPRK’s military will not tolerate any military provocation. Any attempt to invade the airspace of Pyongyang will lead to tremendous catastrophe, said the spokesman.

PD User at 2012-04-08113.239.227.*: The DPRK missle will make good target practice for South Korea or Japan.
Ron at 2012-04-0760.18.111.*: DPRK issues threats of war and "tremendous catastrophe" every day. Go ahead, make my day
Canada at 2012-04-0670.36.49.*: Are South Korea & Japan banned from launching satellites? If not, the West"s opposition to DPRK"s satellite launch is making a mountain out of a molehill.
HuaQiao at 2012-04-0675.72.239.*: DPRK should be right this time for reaction if in fact, its satellite launch. Any nation with the knowledge to develop one, whether as bad as amateu one that goes up and down to one that can go around the world should have the right to launch. This world does not belong to one or two nations, it belong to all nations.
Observer at 2012-04-06222.127.164.*: I would say that the DPRK should ready itself then. Their are already 3 nations ready to dispose of this rocket before it enters their airspace. If the DPRK is stupid enough to do this the let it be.
