    sigh you’re really not gonna go back and read it, are you?

    Operation Pokpung
    Main article: Operation Pokpung

    At dawn on 25 June 1950, the KPA crossed the 38th parallel behind artillery fire.[128] The KPA justified its assault with the claim that ROK troops attacked first and that the KPA were aiming to arrest and execute the “bandit traitor Syngman Rhee”.[129] Fighting began on the strategic Ongjin Peninsula in the west.[130][131] There were initial South Korean claims that the 17th Regiment had counterattacked at Haeju; some scholars argue the claimed counterattack was instead the instigating attack, and therefore that the South Koreans may have fired first.[130][132] However, the report that contained the Haeju claim also contained numerous other errors and outright falsehoods.[133]

    This isn’t some galaxy brain conspiracy take, I’m literally just talking about this ambiguity. And I really don’t feel very strongly about this issue - I’m more perturbed that you’re be so obstinate about it.
