With a grave situation prevailing in the country due to the adventurous saber-rattling, all the servicepersons and people of Korea are now determined to mete out a merciless punishment to the aggressors.

Servicepersons on frontline, coastal and air guard duty are keeping a close eye on every move of the enemy seeking a preemptive attack while the units of three services are on the alert, waiting for an order to go into action.

All the militia, including the Worker-Peasant Red Guards and the Young Red Guards, are ready to annihilate the enemy if they invade the ground, seas and sky of the DPRK even an inch.

Kim Won Ho, a student of Kim Il Sung University, told KCNA that the heroic spirit of defending the country, displayed by student-turned soldiers in the past Fatherland Liberation War, has been inherited by the university students in the Songun era.

"If the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet warmongers bring a cloud of nuclear war over this land in disregard of our repeated warnings, we will devote ourselves to defending the country as the students of the previous generation did," he added.

Meanwhile, all the Korean people are now pushing ahead with the building of a thriving nation with a rifle in one hand and a hammer and sickle in the other.
