The article published by Korean Central News Agency stated:

The U.S. moves for sea blockade can never be tolerated as they constitute a wanton violation of the sovereignty and dignity of an independent state. The U.S. is trying to openly take the measure of sea blockade against the DPRK and strangle its economy in peace time.

This is part of its scheme to escalate political and economic blockade against the DPRK which has lasted for decades. Now the U.S. is trumpeting about sea blockade, not content with staging largest-ever nuclear war drills against the DPRK in the sea and air after shipping the strategic assets into the Korean peninsula.

This is a hideous war criminal act to push the situation to an ‘uncontrollable’ catastrophic phase and to a touch-and-go phase of a war.

As the South Korean Yonhap news agency pointed out, under the London Convention for the Definition of Aggression of 1933, the first country to engage a naval blockade against another is considered the “aggressor.” But that treaty only applied to the Soviet Union and its neighboring Baltic states.

International law does, however, recognize a naval blockade as an act of war.
