Pyongyang, August 9 (KCNA) -- Some of confidential documents on the U.S. invasion of Playa Giron, Cuba, were declassified, according to VOA.

Displeased with Cuba's victorious revolution, the U.S. armed many mercenaries to invade Playa Giron in April 1961. At that time the U.S. was seeking to launch an all-round armed intervention in Cuba in the hope of strangling the Cuban revolution and setting up a pro-American regime. For this purpose, it intended to invade the whole of Cuba after occupying Playa Giron.

The U.S. brought its Caribbean Sea-deployed naval forces to the south sea of Cuba on April 17, 1961. Meanwhile nearly 2 000 mercenaries, already massed in Guatemala, were ordered to attack Playa Giron.

The U.S. tried to find out an excuse of an all-round military intervention, while spreading misinformation.

The Cuban people, guided by Fidel Castro, bravely fought against the invasion under the slogan "Fatherland or death, we will win" and defeated the enemies.

The declassified documents contain what the CIA and a U.S. ally discussed in political and diplomatic negotiations for the invasion of Cuba.
