U.S.-South Korea Rsoi exercise denounced

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland on June 20 issued information bulletin no. 841 lashing out at the U.S. troops in South Korea and South Korean forces for staging "reception, staging, onward-movement and integration" exercise under the simulated conditions of "emergency". It said:
    This joint military exercise, which was reported to last for one month from late may to the end of June, is an extremely dangerous one in terms of its nature and content as it is aimed to mount a preemptive military attack upon the DPRK to stifle it.
    With the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK reaching its height the Korean Peninsula has turned into a theatre of the most acute confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. and the situation remains so tense that no one can predict when a war may break out.
    The sabre-rattling launched by the U.S. together with the South Korean warmongers can not be construed otherwise than a military move to make the preemptive attack upon the DPRK an established fact and provoke a nuclear war against it in a premeditated way.
    This is also intended to chill the anti-U.S., anti-war spirit and enthusiasm for reunification mounting higher than ever before on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the historic June 15 joint declaration and the 1st anniversary of the murder of two South Korean schoolgirls by a U.S. armored car.
    As already clarified by the DPRK, any "blockade operation" or war exercise of the U.S. and its followers will be regarded as an infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK.
    In that case the DPRK will be left with no option but to get ready to strongly counter it with a prompt physical retaliatory measure.
    The U.S. had better behave with discretion and immediately halt its reckless war exercise to invade the DPRK.
    The bellicose forces of the South Korean military are well advised to bear in mind that their support for the foreign forces' war moves will only precipitate their self-destruction.
