North Koreans are exploding with anger at South Korea

State media outlets kept churning out criticism of the South, carrying comments and articles contributed by ordinary people, with the Korean Central Broadcasting Station saying that the South's attitude is causing the fury and animosity of the entire people in the North to explode.

A contributed article in the Rodong Sinmun, the organ of the North's ruling party, said, "As we watched the inter-Korean liaison office come to a tragic end, we all felt it served them right ... but the South Korean authorities are using nonsense words like 'strong criticism, violation and responsibility.'"

"The South Korean authorities have given up on their right to talk about 'abiding by agreement,' as they have overlooked the flying of anti-Pyongyang leaflets," another contributed article in the paper said.

"Our students are filled with fervor to march straight to the front lines of our largest leaflet propaganda campaign (against South Korea)," it said.

North Korean propaganda outlets like DPRK Today and Meari also carried reports criticizing Cheong Wa Dae.

"The South Korean authorities are arrogantly coming up with excuses in response to our blowup of the liaison office," said DPRK Today.

Earlier, the Rodong Sinmun said this week's demolition of the inter-Korean liaison office was just the beginning, warning there could be additional retaliatory steps against South Korea that could go "far beyond imagination."
