Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland issued information bulletin No. 943 on Oct. 31 assailing the U.S. and the south Korean warmongers for staging Hoguk exercises, large-scale exercises for a war of aggression against the DPRK, in south Korea.
The U.S. and the south Korean warhawks staged landing operations whenever they conducted anti-north war exercises under various codenames but it is the first time that they have staged large-scale combined landing operation by mobilizing division-level armed forces, the information bulletin noted, and continued:
The provocative large-scale war exercises staged again by the U.S. and the south Korean puppets against the north despite protest and denunciation by the public at home and abroad are an open military threat to the DPRK and an intolerable criminal act of pushing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to a military conflict and the brink of a nuclear war.
Due to the warmongers' reckless confrontation and war moves the north-south relations that have favorably developed after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration are now in such a serious crisis after going beyond the phase of tension and confrontation that a military conflict and an all-out war may break out any moment.
The DPRK stands for peace and reunification of the country but it will never beg for them, allowing its dignity and sovereignty, its life and soul, to be encroached upon.
Now that the U.S. and the Lee Myung Bak group keep pursuing a foolish aim to stand in confrontation with the DPRK with "strength" to the end, the DPRK will take resolute countermeasures to mercilessly punish provocateurs.
Those who pursue confrontation and war are bound to meet a shameful defeat and death.
The U.S. and the Lee Myung Bak group had better immediately stop their rash acts and the reckless DPRK-targeted saber rattling, cogitating about the serious consequences to be entailed by their moves for confrontation and war against the DPRK.
