The Infowarrior says:

"The incident threatens to damage cross-border relations which had lately been improving.

Asked if the discharge was intentional or a mistake, Unification Minister Hyun In-Taek told parliament: "I think the North did it intentionally."

Hyun was the first South Korean official publicly to assert that the release of the water was intentional."
