US-S. Korea War Exercises under Fire
Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and the warmongers of the south Korean puppet forces are now getting more frantic in the DPRK-targeted war exercises as an extension of the Foal Eagle joint military exercises, according to military sources.

The navy of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and the south Korean puppet navy are busy staging combined naval maneuvers.

Prior to the start of these war exercises to last till March 28, Aegis destroyers John S. McCain and Mustin of the U.S. navy entered Tonghae port of south Korean Kangwon Province.

More than 10 warships including guided missile cruiser, guided missile destroyer, ocean-going minesweeping ship were brought to Phyongthaek, Mokpho and Pusan ports or deployed in the waters off east, west and south coasts of Korea. These huge naval forces for aggression are busy with naval mobile drills, exercises for torpedo operation, mine-sweeping operation and naval bombardment in coordinated operations with groups of warships of the puppet navy.

Timed to coincide with these combined naval maneuvers, the U.S. imperialists deployed overseas-based fighter-bombers, pursuit-assault planes, planes for special operation, electronic jamming planes and rescue planes in air bases of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea. They are now busy with air battle drills and exercises for striking ground targets, providing close air support and carrying out airlifting missions in coordinated operation with flying corps of the south Korean puppet air force.

The warmongers of the south Korean puppet army got more frantic in war exercises in the forefront area.

105mm and 155mm artillery groups and tank groups of the puppet army deployed in the areas of south Cholwon County, Phaju City and Rinje County fired at least 300 shells on March 22 and 23, whipping up a war atmosphere.

In this period the south Korean puppet army hurled "commandoes" of the special warfare command into operation theatres along the forefront for madcap spying training. The armed bandits of the south Korean puppet army who took combat positions in the areas of Phaju City, south Cholwon County and Rinje County desperately fired more than 13,500 bullets with 12.7mm machineguns and 5.56mm automatic rifles.

All these facts indicate that the war hysteria of the U.S. imperialist aggressors and warmongers of the south Korean puppet army to stifle the DPRK has reached an extremely reckless phase.
