Song Kyong Hak, an officer of the Korean People's Army, told KCNA:

"We, servicepersons, are now filled with the fixed will to annihilate at once the hostile forces infringing upon the sovereignty of the country.

The powerful striking means of the Paektusan revolutionary army have already been in full readiness to shower fire of merciless punishment on the disgusting den of evils and show what a real war is like."

O Myong Bok, a worker at the Pyongyang Electric Cable Factory 326, said:

"Our army and people do never allow the nation's sovereignty and the supreme interests of the country to be violated.

Sovereignty of each country and nation is not something presented or defended by others. What can ensure their sovereignty and dignity is only the military strength for independence and justice built up by their own efforts."

Ri Myong Hwan, a worker at the Hukryong Coal Mine, said:

"Peace can never be expected on this planet as long as the U.S., the empire of evil, remains intact.

We, workers, will show the mettle of the Korean working class in a sacred war to wipe out the U.S. imperialists, the sworn enemy of the nation, from the earth."

Ri Kwang Nam, a worker of the Taean Electric Appliances Factory, expressed his strong will to stand in the van of an all-out action to punish the U.S. and its followers.
