In this regard, a spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army on Tuesday issued a statement clarifying the three important measures to be taken by it.

According to it, the DPRK will take the second and third strong practical counteractions in succession to cope with the high-handed war acts of the U.S. and all other hostile forces. And the KPA Supreme Command will totally nullify the Korean Armistice Agreement and put a total stop to the operation of the KPA mission in Panmunjom.

Upon hearing the statement, the DPRK people have expressed full support to those measures, hardening their will to turn out in the anti-U.S. action.

Ju Myong Chol, a 53-year-old citizen living in Pyongyang, told KCNA:

"We can never pardon the U.S. and south Korean forces that launched nuclear war exercises for armed invasion of the DPRK despite its repeated warning and strong protest of the world peace-loving people.

If they dare infringe upon the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK, all its servicepersons and civilians will inflict shameful defeat and death on them with shower of fire."

Han Myong Gil, a 47-year-old officer of the KPA, said:

"Now the enemies are recklessly running amuck, not well aware who their rival is. But, tiger moth fond of playing with fire is bound to perish in the flames.

The DPRK has the strength of single-minded unity of all the people rallied around their leader, which is more powerful than nuke, and the invincible Paektusan army built up under the Songun (military-first) policy.

Its army and people love peace and do not want war, but will deal merciless strikes with all potentials to those provokers eagerly looking for a chance of aggression.

The final victory is in store for the army and people of the DPRK who are all out to protect the sovereignty of the nation and the supreme interests of the country."
