Will North Korea Execute A Chuseok Holiday Provocation?

If the North Koreans do decide to commit a Chuseok holiday provocation the US and ROK military say they are ready:

The military is to remain on high alert against possible provocations from North Korea during the Chuseok holiday.

A military official said Saturday that troops are maintaining a bolstered defense posture as the North can carry out provocations at any time.

South Korean and U.S. forces are known to be closely observing any moves by the North Korean military using cutting-edge surveillance and reconnaissance assets in order to respond immediately in case of a provocation.

Authorities believe Pyongyang could engage in another major provocative act in the near future.

It’s speculated the regime could launch a ballistic missile around October tenth, which marks the founding anniversary of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party.   [KBS World Radio]

Reports today are saying that missiles from the Sanum-dong missile plant are currently on the move.  I guess we will see what happens in the next few days.

@1 So, you decided to take my idea about us attacking north Korea during Chuseok and turned it around huh? (See your post on the Chuseok holiday traffic from yesterday). In case you didn’t read it, I suggested that the Chuseok holiday would be a good time to attack north Korea because any response would meet a virtually deserted Seoul area and therefore fewer casualties. I still think it’s the best idea. If not, then try Lunar New Year.
