SEOUL, March 23 (Xinhua) -- South Korea on Wednesday warned of stern and merciless retaliations in response to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s threat to strike South Korea's presidential office.
Seoul's unification ministry said in a statement that if Pyongyang conducts any provocations, South Korean forces will sternly and mercilessly retaliate and all the consequences from it will be completely held responsible for the DPRK.
The statement came after the DPRK's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) warned that the DPRK's armed forces will head to wage a retaliatory battle to eliminate South Korean President Park Geun-hye's administration.
The CPRK said that the strikes may start from the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae or nearby locations, noting that once the buttons of large-caliber multiple rocket launchers are pushed, the presidential office would be reduced to a sea in flames and ashes.
