North Korea cheered the knife attack on the US ambassador in Seoul as "punishment for US warmongers" – while the bloodied diplomat tweeted Thursday that he was doing well.
Ambassador Mark Lippert was slashed Wednesday on the face and wrist by a man brandishing a 10-inch knife and screaming that the rival Koreas should be unified, South Korean cops and US officials said.
"Doing well and in great spirits … Will be back ASAP to advance US-ROK [Republic of Korea] alliance!" Lippert, former assistant secretary of defense to President Obama, tweeted from a hospital.
North Korean officials, who hailed the gruesome attack as payback for the US taking part in military drills on the Korean peninsula, did not assert claims of responsibility or ties to the assailant, the Washington Post reported.
A missive by the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency's included images of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un conferring with commanders.
Lippert said he and his family were "deeply moved by the support" after the attack, which happened as he was about to give a lecture about prospects for peace on the Korean peninsula.
Images from the attack showed a stunned Lippert bleeding from his head and hand at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, across the street from the US Embassy. Reports said the 55-year-old attacker yelled: "No war! The two Koreas should be unified," the paper reported.
Lippert needed 80 stitches to close his slashed cheek, which was more than four inches long and one inch deep. He also suffered significant wounds to his left wrist while apparently struggling to push off his assailant, identified as Kim Ki-jong, 55.
Kim apparently broke his ankle during the attack, the BBC reported.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who is in Saudi Arabia for meetings, spoke by phone with Lippert on Thursday morning.
"He's as good as can be expected, his spirit is strong," Kerry said, the paper reported. "He tends to soldier on, or as he said to me, 'sailor on.'"
Obama called Lippert to "wish him the very best for a speedy recovery," National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said.
Meanwhile, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf issued a statement saying. "We strongly condemn this act of violence."
Kim, who was immediately arrested, is a member of the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation, which organized the seminar, cops said. In 2010, he threw a piece of concrete at the Japanese ambassador to South Korea and received a two-year suspended sentence, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.
The affable Lippert, who arrived in Seoul last summer, has even set up a Twitter account for his hound Grigsby, @grigsbybasset, where he posts pictures of himself and the dog around the city.
He and his wife, Robyn, had their first baby in Seoul this year and gave the boy a Korean middle name — he's called James William Sejun Lippert.
There are more than 25,000 US troops in the South, guarding against the threat from North Korea. Some Koreans resent their continued presence 60 years after the Korean War ended.
