Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a bylined commentary.

This is a product of the persistent conspiracy and tie-up between the U.S. master and his stooges to do harm to the DPRK by force of arms and a fuse for igniting an all-out war against the north, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The Lee Myung Bak group's moves to extend the ballistic missile range for posing a serious threat to the DPRK are an extremely dangerous war adventure whose consequences are hardly predictable.

It was none other than the U.S. and the puppet forces of south Korea who posed a nuclear threat and missile threat to the Korean Peninsula for the first time and have worked hard to do harm to the social system in the DPRK while escalating it.

The announcement of the "missile guidance agreement" is nothing but a reckless action to justify the provocation of a new war and round off the preparations for a preemptive attack on the north at the final phase under the absurd pretext of "threat from the north".

The Lee group's moves to extend the ballistic missile range are posing a serious threat to the security of not only the DPRK but the neighboring countries.
