DPRK-targeted war exercises condemned

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) - The U.S. and South Korean militaries announced that they would stage large-scale joint war exercises from early march. The exercises are not ordinary military drills but premeditated and provocative war games aimed to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK in view of the scale of troops and arms to be involved in them and their contents and nature, says Minju Joson today in a commentary. Such joint military exercises for this year assume more dangerous nature as they are to be staged at a time when the U.S. imperialists are reinforcing their armed forces in and around South Korea and escalating the military pressure upon the DPRK under the pretext of its "nuclear development", the commentary notes, and goes on:
    Huge armed forces of the U.S. imperialists have already been deployed in and around South Korea and measures taken to cope with possible contingency. So, nobody can predict when the above-said exercises will go over to real action.
    In actuality, the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula is increasing due to the U.S. imperialists' adventurous war games and the regional situation is inching close to the brink of war.
    The DPRK, which stands for the peace and peaceful reunification of the country, can never remain an onlooker to such dangerous war maneuvers of the U.S. imperialists.
    The U.S. imperialists should promptly stop the reckless moves to provoke a new war.
