Quote: "If a war breaks out, the ROK [Republic of Korea] will be wiped off the map. As it wants a war, we are willing to put an end to its existence. According to data available, more than 1.4 million youth league officials and youth and students across the country volunteered to join or rejoin the Korean People's Army on 14 and 15 October." 

Details: North Korean propaganda claims that 1.4 million young people wanted to join the Korean People's Army on 14-15 October.

In the statement, North Korea openly threatens South Korea: "Millions of young people have turned out in the nationwide struggle to wipe out the ROK scum who committed a serious provocation of violating the sovereignty of the DPRK through a drone infiltration into its capital city to push the tense situation to the brink of war, which precipitates their self-destruction, and are now making impudent remarks like a guilty party filing the suit first."

Quote: "The young people's zeal for joining the army is an eruption of the hatred and retaliatory spirit of the younger generation who are determined to punish the scum who committed a hideous crime to ignite a war at any cost, and end the horrible evil relationship. Youth and students across the country signed the petitions for joining or rejoining the army out of the pledge to find out the heinous confrontation maniacs and criminals to the last one and cut off their windpipes."

Background: The day before, North Korea blew up part of the roads connecting it to South Korea.
