Halt to U.S.-Japan-S. Korea Provocative War Exercises Demanded

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- The DPRK is fully ready for any crisis and will react to the aggressors' play with fire with dreadful strike of justice. A spokesman for the Korean National Peace Committee declared this in a statement released on Oct. 20 in connection with the fact that the U.S., Japanese and south Korean bellicose forces have launched a "combined landing exercise" and "rocket firing exercise" and are planning to kick off other joint military maneuvers including "landing operation exercise" and "maritime check" in their desperate bid to stifle the DPRK.
    The statement said:
    The U.S. is ceaselessly staging DPRK-targeted war exercises in the sky, on the ground and in the sea of the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity after bringing there even an aircraft carrier at a time when it is escalating collective sanctions and blockade against the DPRK after instigating its followers to adopt a UNSC "resolution" against Pyongyang. This is a grave provocation driving the situation on the peninsula to the brink of war and a dangerous play with fire aimed at igniting a war against the DPRK.
    The U.S. is busy covering up the crimes it has committed by pushing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the worst phase with its hostile policy toward the DPRK in violation of its commitment to denuclearizing the peninsula. It is, however, egging the UNSC on to escalate sanctions and pressure against the DPRK, describing its self-defensive nuclear deterrent based on justice as a "threat" like a thief crying "Stop the Thief!"
    Pro-U.S. warmongers of Japan and south Korea are echoing the U.S. war outcry, thus joining it in its moves to stifle the DPRK. This development is pushing the situation to the worst phase of confrontation and the eve of war.
    The army and people of the DPRK are fully ready to become human bullets and bombs in defending Korean-style socialism, their dignity and life. They have tremendous war deterrent to decisively meet any challenge of the aggressors and beat back any invasion by them.
    The U.S. and south Korean war-like forces would be well advised to stop running wild, properly understanding who their rival is, and halt at once their reckless war drills which will only precipitate their self-destruction.
