Will to Take Retaliatory Measures against Warmongers Declared

Pyongyang, July 25 (KCNA) — The U.S. and south Korean warmongers announced that they would stage joint naval maneuvers from July 25 to 28 and the Ulji Focus Guardian joint exercises and joint anti-submarine exercises from August 18 to 26 and several other joint naval exercises till September in the subsequent period.

The U.S. is set to stage these exercises with 20 odd warships including nuclear-powered carrier “George Washington” and at least 200 warplanes of different types including F-22 Raptors involved.

Minju Joson Sunday observes in a signed commentary carried in this regard:

It is the ulterior intention of the U.S. and south Korean warmongers to ignite a nuclear war against the DPRK when they are given a chance while staging saber-rattling for several months in the waters of the east and west seas of Korea with huge armed forces involved.

Their plan to stage the largest-ever nuclear war exercises against the DPRK under the pretext of the warship sinking case is not only an open military provocation against the DPRK but a criminal act of mocking and insulting the United Nations and the international community.

The U.S. remains unchanged in its hostile policy towards the DPRK to stifle it by force of arms and so does the group of traitors in its intention to do harm to fellow countrymen with the help of outside forces. Instead, they have become all the more undisguised as the days go by.

It is, however, a pipedream for them to try to browbeat the DPRK by force of arms.

The DPRK has the Korean People's Army, an invincible strong army equipped with nuclear deterrent recognized by the world people.

The army and people of the DPRK will take strong retaliatory measures with dignity by dint of their powerful nuclear deterrent, as a spokesman for the DPRK National Defence Commission had declared in his statement, in order to cope with the nuclear war exercises kicked off by the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet warmongers. They will start Korean-style sacred war for retaliation any time they deem it necessary.

The DPRK has never made an empty talk.

KPA Accuses US of Introducing Heavy Weapons in Panmunjom

Pyongyang, June 28 (KCNA) — The Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army sent a message of protest to the U.S. imperialist aggression forces side Monday slamming the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces for introducing various types of heavy weapons to the portion of the south side in the area around the Panmunjom Conference Hall.

Fully armed U.S. imperialist aggression troops and the south Korean puppet army unhesitatingly committed this provocation in the eyes of the KPA, an indication that they are set to perpetrate a military provocation any moment, the message says, and goes on:

The U.S. forces side introduced those weapons at around 7:25 a.m. on June 26.

The introduction of heavy weapons to the area around the conference hall where armed forces of both sides stand in acute confrontation is a premeditated provocation aimed to spark off a serious military conflict.

The KPA side has followed with vigilance the moves of the U.S. forces side instigating the puppet forces to push the situation on the Korean Peninsula to such phase on the eve of the outbreak of a war and find an ignition point with June 25, the day of the start of the Korean War, as a momentum.

The KPA side notifies the U.S. forces side of its following principled stand as regards the latter's serious military provocation:

1. The U.S. forces side should immediately stop the provocative introduction of heavy weapons to the area around the Panmunjom Conference Hall. It should withdraw all those weapons already introduced from the area at once.
2. In case it does not comply with the principled demand of the KPA side, it will take strong military countermeasures in the said area.

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces should never forget their bitter defeat six decades ago.

Military Commentator Denies Involvement in Ship Sinking

Pyongyang, April 17 (KCNA) — A military commentator Saturday issued an article disclosing the truth about the “story about linkage with the north” floated by the south Korean group of traitors.

There occurred an accident in which “Chonan”, 1 400 ton-warship of the south Korean puppet navy, sank all of a sudden in the waters between Paekryong Island and Taechong Island in the West Sea of Korea at night of March 26, the article said, and went on:

Though the sunken large ship belongs to the south side, we have so far regarded the accident as a regretful accident that should not happen in the light of the fact that many missing persons and most of rescued members of the crew are fellow countrymen forced to live a tiresome life in the puppet army.

Failing to probe the cause of the sinking of the ship, the puppet military warmongers, right-wing conservative politicians and the group of other traitors in south Korea are now foolishly seeking to link the accident with the north at any cost.

At the outset of the accident the group asserted that no sign of intrusion of the north' submarine was spotted by their so-called “water-tight” maritime caution and round-the-clock radar monitoring and sound detection system.

But after making a U turn from their earlier stand that there should be no foregone conclusion as regards the accident, the group started floating the “story about the linkage with the north”.

Traitor Lee Myung Bak said that one should not carelessly utter that the north is linked with the accident at its beginning. But from some days ago he began making a spate of accusations against the north while blustering that it is necessary to “probe the accident without a shred of suspicion on the premise of the possible linkage with the north”, “thoroughly cope with the movement of the north” and “south Korea will resolutely counter” the north if the cause of the accident is finally confirmed.

The gentries of “Chongwadae”, though they asserted that “there was slim possibility of the north's attack,” are now taking an attitude that they are not ruling out the “story about the linkage with the north,” jabbering that the testimonies of the survivors and the conditions of the sunken ship suggest a large possibility that the ship was hit hard from outside.

The military warmongers are getting more undisguised in their moves to link the accident with the north though it was caused by their fault.

Disclosing the aim sought by the group in the above-said behavior, the article continued:

It is prompted by its ulterior intention to get rid of the worst ruling crisis caused by the “state management failure”.

If public opinion is built to claim that the accident occurred due to “an internal factor” and its cause is not properly clarified, the group of traitors will be held directly responsible for it and, accordingly, will not be able to escape a heavy defeat in the forthcoming “June 2 local elections”. This will lead to the split of the conservative camp including the “Grand National Party” and the weakening of its ruling power, throwing the group into an inescapable predicament.

Another sinister aim sought by the puppet regime in floating the above-said story is to justify the persistent and anachronistic policy towards the DPRK and shirk the blame for having driven the inter-Korean relations to the worst crisis.

It is a well-known fact that from the outset of its office the group of traitors has persistently pursued the inter-Korean confrontation, insisting that “the north dismantle its nukes first.”

People from all walks of life in south Korea are now becoming evermore vocal critical of the wrong policy pursued by the group towards the north, blatantly challenging the demand of the times and the desire of the nation.

It is against this backdrop that the group is hyping the “story about linkage with the north” in a bid to flee from the responsibility for having deteriorated the north-south relations and justify their mean policy toward the north with the sinking of its warship as a momentum.

The ruckus kicked up by the puppet authorities while peddling the story is designed to stir up the atmosphere of international sanctions against the north and increase pressure upon it in various aspects.

The group of traitors is zealously supporting its American master in his moves to bring down the system in the DPRK, while trying to give impression that the U.S.-led sanctions are proving effective.

This group is making desperate efforts to block the general advance of the north toward the eminence of a great prosperous and powerful nation.

Herein lies another sinister aim sought by the group of traitors in floating the nonsensical “story about the linkage with the north.”

It is a trite trick of the stupid to hatch plots and stoop to any infamy under that pretext whenever they are driven into a tight corner.

The group of traitors would be well advised to face up to the trend of the times and refrain from uttering any word as it pleases.
