U.S. and S. Korean Bellicose Forces' War Exercises against DPRK Assailed

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

   Pyongyang, September 3 (KCNA) -- As already known, the U.S. staged the large-scale "Ulji Focus Lens" joint military exercises together with the south Korean military from August 20 to 31.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed commentary carried in this regard says: Such frantic war exercises staged under the simulated conditions of an actual war with at least 10,000 U.S. forces present in south Korea and overseas and huge south Korean troops and up-to-date war equipment involved were, to all intents and purposes, drills for a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK.
    It goes on:
    The U.S. staged extremely provocative war maneuvers against the DPRK despite its repeated warnings and strong opposition and protest from the public at home and abroad. This was an open hostile act against the DPRK and an unpardonable criminal move to stem the trend of the development of the situation on the Korean Peninsula toward detente and peace.
    The situation on the Korean Peninsula is of late developing in the direction of detente and peace.
    The Korean nation's desire for reconciliation, unity, peace and reunification is growing stronger and the points agreed upon at the six-party talks aimed at peace and security on the Korean Peninsula are in the process of implementation.
    The U.S., however, staged such provocative joint military exercises against the DPRK against this backdrop. This diametrically runs counter to the cause of peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S. is putting spurs to such "arms buildup" as massively introducing means of nuclear attack while promoting the reorganization of the system of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces present in south Korea aimed at mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK.
    It was busy painting "Ulji Focus Lens" as "annual" or "computer mock drills" but it staged the maneuvers under the simulated conditions of an actual war, thus revealing its adventurous design to examine and round off the preparations for the preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK.
    The U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK still remains unchanged.
