Officer Han Jin Hyok said he was very pleased to hear the news, adding:

The DPRK demonstrated once again the grit and pluck of Songun Korea which does what it is determined to do and the iron faith and will of the great Paektusan nation, which never makes an empty talk.

I feel highly proud of being soldiers of the peerlessly brilliant commander.

Soldiers on the forefront extend the warmest salute to the scientists, technicians, workers and officials who succeeded in the underground nuclear test.

Officer Pae Chung Hyok said that the recent underground nuclear test was a resolute and just step for self-defence taken by the DPRK against the vicious moves of the U.S., the sworn enemy of the Korean people.

He went on: The nuclear test is part of the practical counter actions to defend the security and sovereignty of the country. The nuclear test, a striking physical demonstration of the high performance of the DPRK's nuclear deterrent, was another proud victory of Songun Korea as it clearly manifested the will of the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu to wipe out the enemies.

Non-commissioned officer Ri Il Gwon said:

It is the spirit of the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu to strike enemies once it is determined to do and emerge a victor in any battle.

We warn the brigandish U.S. imperialists. They should bear in mind that they can never escape a deadly strike, should they infringe upon the sovereignty of the DPRK even a bit.

Soldier Ri Jong Hak said:

Let us blow up such land as the U.S., cesspool of injustice and malignant tumor-like entity on the earth. These are angry voices of the service personnel of the KPA heard from its every post.

We firmly pledge ourselves not to miss the golden chance of wiping out the aggressors through merciless crushing blows but achieve the historic cause of the country's reunification without fail, if the enemies infringe upon the sovereignty of the DPRK even a bit.
