South Korea has stated that it expects more military provocations from North Korea midway through next month to coincide with the anniversary of the founding of its communist party and China's all-important Communist Party Congress.
In a meeting with President Moon Jae-in on Thursday, national security adviser Chung Eui-yong said he expected Pyongyang to act around Oct. 10 and 18, but gave no details.
"(Chung's report) also said there are worries over military conflict being sparked by accidental incidents," said Park Wan-ju, lawmaker and head spokesman of the ruling Democratic Party.
"The president said the United States speaks of military and diplomatic options, but South Korea can't go through war again."
The month of September saw intensified North Korean threats aimed at South Korea and the U.S. and also several high profile nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
