The statement accused the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet regime of kicking off the Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises despite the strong protest and denunciation at home and abroad.

All the officials of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan vehemently denounce the thrice-cursed saber-rattling kicked off by them to bring a nuclear war disaster to all Koreans, it said, and went on:

The U.S. let the south Korean regime of traitors cook up the extra-large terrorism unprecedented in history and stage the large war exercises. This shows that their aggressive nature for stifling the DPRK remains unchanged and the military standoff in the peninsula has reached the extreme phase owing to the new defense strategy for aggression.

What cannot be overlooked is that the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors, more dead than alive being forsaken by all the Koreans, turned south Korea into battle fields as war servants for the U.S. imperialists to prolong its dirty remaining days.

Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong Un, inspecting island defence detachments stationed in the biggest hotspot in the southernmost part of the southwest front, ordered 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, and lead the battle to a sacred war for national reunification. Upon this order the army and people of the homeland are full of the will to wipe out the enemies.

Chongryon and Koreans in Japan will firmly defend the homeland of Juche together with the people in the homeland firmly believing in Marshal Kim Jong Un.
