Truth about Atomic Artillery Pieces in U.S. Forces in S. Korea Disclosed

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

    Pyongyang, February 10 (KCNA) -- It was disclosed that the U.S. forces in south Korea were equipped with atomic artillery pieces capable of firing smaller nukes late in the 1950s, according to the south Korean KBS. This fact was disclosed by the notes exchanged between the "Kyongmudae" (Chongwadae at present) and the U.S. embassy in Seoul in 1958, the documents declassified by the south Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The documents said that the U.S. forces in south Korea possessed six 280 mm calibre atomic artillery pieces at that time. They were developed by the U.S. Army in 1953 for the purpose of firing smaller nukes.
    It was also disclosed by the documents that the U.S. promised south Korea to support it with weapons including M-41 and M-46 tanks and through nuclear war exercises at the request of the south Korean authorities at that time.
    This goes to clearly show how long the U.S. imperialists have worked to ignite a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S. imperialists chiefly to blame for the emergence of the nuclear issue should stop raising a hue and cry over a "nuclear threat" from someone and admit their crimes and give up their ambition to preempt a nuclear attack on the DPRK.
