Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in this regard in a signed commentary:

The south Korean puppet forces beefed up their forces and staged the above-said saber-rattling in collusion with the U.S. at a time when the relations between the DPRK and south Korea grew tenser than ever before. These were premeditated and deliberate moves to ignite the second Korean war.

The introduction of the new offensive means into the Korean Peninsula is a threat to the other side and an action to escalate the tension, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The extremely dangerous saber-rattling staged by the south Korean warmongers while frantically pushing forward the arms build-up in collusion with the U.S. is a very reckless adventure to ignite a nuclear war on the peninsula according to the already worked out scenario.

A few days ago, the Lee Myung Bak group dared hurt the supreme dignity of the DPRK, thus pushing the north-south relations to a touch-and-go situation. It is needless to say that such war hysteria kicked up by the group of traitors, extremely getting on the nerves of the DPRK, is nothing but a reckless provocation intended to further escalate the tension between the DPRK and south Korea and drive the situation to the brink of a war.

The DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to the above-said saber-rattling of the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces, the commentary notes, warning that the confrontation maniacs are bound to be badly beaten by the just retaliation and all-out offensive of the army and people of the DPRK.
