The statement said:

The U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet forces described the joint military exercises as "annual and defensive ones" but the saber-rattling is typical war maneuvers and military drills for a nuclear war against the DPRK from A to Z. It is reckless war hysteria to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK and ignite an all-out war against it and a blatant challenge to the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.

A spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army in a statement declared the resolute stand that it would counter enemies coming in attack with a dagger with a sword, a rifle with an artillery piece and nukes with precision nuclear strike means of Korean style more powerful than them and thus blow up the strongholds of aggression of the hostile forces.

No force on earth can block the army and people of the DPRK from advancing under the wise leadership of the great brilliant Songun commander.

The association and all Koreans in China will join the people in the homeland in blowing up the strongholds of aggressors and bring earlier the great cause of national reunification if the U.S. imperialists and their followers dare ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK.
