Minju Chosun carried an editorial titled "Let's safeguard peace and security of the Korean Peninsula," as the North marks the 69th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War.

It added that should the South genuinely hope for improvement in cross-border relations, it should faithfully enforce past bilateral agreements aimed at fostering reconciliation and reducing military tensions.
