They came under fire by a signed article of Rodong Sinmun Sunday which says:

It is the strategic goal of the U.S. imperialists to ignite another Korean war and stifle the DPRK by force of arms and thus establish military domination over Asia.

War has been averted and peace been preserved so far on the Korean Peninsula thanks to the positive efforts made by the DPRK to defend peace.

The past history showed what miserable ends the warmongers met.

Wars of aggression launched by the imperialists brought unspeakable disaster and catastrophic consequences to the people but the provocateurs suffered shameful defeat in the end.

History knows no precedent of aggressors who met good ends.

The U.S. imperialist warmongers are making a big talk about "preemptive nuclear attack" and "surprise strike" but such rhetoric will never work on the DPRK.

The DPRK is prepared for any war of aggression to be launched by the U.S. imperialists.

If the U.S. dares ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK obsessed with war hysteria, the army and people of the DPRK will fully settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists, their sworn enemy.
