Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)
Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) -- A tense situation is still prevailing on the Korean Peninsula due to the U.S. persistent hostile policy towards the DPRK.
Kim Kyok Sik, chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, said this in a report at a national meeting held Friday to mark the 47th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's start of Songun revolutionary leadership.
The DPRK is following with high vigilance the policy which the U.S. has persistently pursued to pressurize and suffocate the DPRK by mobilizing even its satellite forces including Japan, he noted, adding:
If the U.S. continues putting pressure upon the DPRK in the future, too under the pretext of the nuclear issue and refuses to stop the ceaseless large-scale war exercises and massive arms buildup now under way in south Korea in preparation for a preemptive attack on the DPRK, its army and people will further round off the retaliatory means powerful enough to counter the U.S. nuclear attack and preemptive strike in order to protect their dignity, sovereignty and vital rights.
