U.S. Reckless Blockade against DPRK under Fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The U.S. staged a naval control exercise against DPRK ships in waters off Australia in September and a joint exercise involving 11 countries in London in early October with an aim to check flights of DPRK airliners. Joint exercises of similar forms with the same purpose including the joint drill slated to be staged in the Mediterranean Sea in late October are expected to go on in the future.
    In this regard Minju Joson today in a signed commentary says:
    The U.S. claims that the purpose of such exercises is to prevent the worldwide spread of "weapons of mass destruction ". But this is nothing but sophism to cover up its sinister political and military design against the DPRK.
    It is the U.S. tactics to increase pressure upon the DPRK to force it to meekly yield to Washington's brigandish demand over the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. aerial and naval blockade against the DPRK is an act of infringing upon the sovereignty of an independent state and a wanton violation of and challenge to international law. The U.S. escalated pressure upon the DPRK will only compel the DPRK to strengthen its countermeasures for self-defense.
    If the U.S. sincerely wants the settlement of the nuclear issue, it should refrain from irresponsible actions that may drive the situation to an uncontrollable phase.
