KCNA on U.S. moves for preemptive attack on DPRK

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 19 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is reportedly contemplating deploying a carrier flotilla and one task brigade equipped with new types of transport planes and other strategic means in pearl harbor under the pretext of "threat" from the DPRK. This is a very dangerous military move. In the meantime, a provocative anti-north war scenario dubbed "5030" is said to be in the making by the U.S. Defence Department.
    This is part of the U.S. extremely reckless preparations to launch a nuclear war, pursuant to its strategy for a preemptive attack, going beyond the phase of "deterrence" that has been maintained so far while shunning the DPRK's new, bold proposal. It is, therefore, a breach of the un charter which bans any act of threatening the sovereign states by armed forces.
    Recently the U.S. has massively bolstered up its troops in and around South Korea for a preemptive attack on the north. It published "arms buildup plan" of the U.S. forces present in South Korea, a plan that calls for spending 11 billion dollars, and according to it, hi-tech weapons that had been used in the Iraqi war are being redeployed in South Korea.
    A particular mention should be made of the fact that it is stepping up the transfer of the U.S. second infantry division to the areas south of the River Han in a bid to occupy positions favorable for mounting a preemptive attack on the north.
    The U.S. brought f-117 stealth fighters to South Korea and deployed B-52 and B-1 strategic bombers on Guam island targeted against the DPRK. All these moves are to carry out its strategy for a preemptive attack.
    The U.S. Defense Department reorganized the U.S. 8th army stationed in South Korea into a field army system, thus letting the huge U.S. forces in Northeast Asia come within the sphere of the military operation of the U.S. 8th army command. It set up the U.S. 9th theatre army command in Japan, making it possible for it to directly participate in military operations on the Korean peninsula.
    Pentagon also organized a first-line unit for a preemptive attack involving U.S. marines in Okinawa, the U.S. 7th fleet and 3rd fleet, the U.S. 7th air force in South Korea, the U.S. 5th air force in Japan and others it is quite clear that these dangerous military moves being staged by the U.S. behind the scene of "multilateral talks" are aimed to mount a surprise attack on the DPRK.
    The U.S. should not misjudge the DPRK.
    In case the U.S. mounts a preemptive attack on it, the DPRK will take self-defensive measures involving all means equivalent to what the U.S. will use.
