"Officers and men of the army corps, divisions and regiments on the front, and strategic rocket forces in the depth of the country, are loudly calling for the issue of order to mete out punishment," according to the North's statement, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. Calls to Channel A's public affairs office weren't immediately answered and no relevant statement was posted on the network's website. About 20,000 children across North Korea are celebrating the 66th anniversary of the Korean Children's Union, according to KCNA. During the six-day festival that began Sunday, children planned to tour Pyongyang, participate in political and cultural events and visit a zoo and restaurants, the agency said. The two Koreas are still technically at war because their 1950-53 war ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
