The statement recalled that the Command of Forces of the Korean People's Army in the western sector of the front clarified its resolute stand that it would react with strong physical retaliation to the anti-submarine drill to be staged by the group of traitors in the West Sea of Korea from Aug. 5 with huge armed forces of the three services of the puppet army, marine corps and various type of warships and other war hardware involved.

If the group kicks off the maneuvers for a war of aggression against the north at any cost, it will suffer from the north's counteraction for self-defense, the statement warned, strongly urging the Lee Myung Bak group to stop those war maneuvers unconditionally as they would make the Korean Peninsula drenched with the blood shed by fellow countrymen.

All Koreans will certainly wipe out the U.S. and its warlike lackeys in the spirit of "By our nation itself", the statement concluded.
