There, he ordered the servicepersons of the detachments to deal at once deadly counter-blows at the enemy if even a single shell is dropped on the waters or in the area of the DPRK.

Upon hearing the news, the KPA servicepersons are in high spirit to lead the possible battle to a sacred war for national reunification.

Ho Kwang Bok, a KPA officer, told KCNA:

"Instead of drawing a bitter lesson from the Korean War (1950-1953), the U.S. imperialist kicked off the large-scale joint military exercises against the DPRK, going against the tendency of times.

Physical counter measure can only deter a war on the Korean peninsula.

It is a steadfast will of the KPA not to tolerate the provokers and it is its traditional method to return fire for fire.

Provokers should be mindful of a solemn warning of the KPA not to make an empty talk.

There will be an annihilating counter attack in response to any possible aggression.

We will wipe out the aggression forces and achieve national reunification, as ordered by Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un."

Kim Un Gyong, a KPA solider, said:

"As the supreme commander solemnly declared, I and other soldiers of our unit will wipe out the enemy without mercy if even a single shell is dropped on this land and clearly show what his order to lead any battle to national reunification means."
