A mechanized combat brigade of the U.S. forces in south Korea and the 26th mechanized infantry division of the puppet army staged madcap drill of taking tanks and armored cars across the River Hanthan in Ryonchon County, Kyonggi Province on Feb. 5.

The military exercises are aimed at raising river-crossing ability in the winter season as evidenced by the fact that the puppet army staged the operation of taking the mechanized attack means across the river being covered by tanks of the U.S. forces, fanning up war hysteria.

The 53rd infantry division of the puppet army and the transport command of the U.S. Navy in south Korea staged a "joint training for coping with terrorism" in Pusan Port the next day.

The warmongers whipped up confrontational hysteria under the pretext of "coping with terrorism" by mobilizing ten organs including the Pusan District Police Office and the fire-fighting headquarters of Pusan City.

The frantic exercises staged by the Lee Myung Bak warlike forces who put the inter-Korean relations in total stalemate and drove the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war through their reckless anti-DPRK confrontational moves will only precipitate their ruin.
