Rodong Sinmun Sunday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

This is a shriek made by those who are taken aback by the spirit of the army and people of the DPRK who have risen up as one in an all-out action for a final victory and a revelation of their consciousness of the indelible crimes committed by them.

The tough-and-go situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula is attributable to the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces which are kicking up high-handed "sanctions" and military pressure campaigns against the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful purposes and nuclear test for self-defence.

The hysteria of the south Korean warmongers has reached its extreme phase.

Kim Kwan Jin and Jong Sung Jo's reckless hysteria clearly proves that the group of traitors is seeking to lead the on-going joint military exercises in south Korea to a real war against the north in league with the U.S.

Their persistent anti-DPRK confrontation to prolong their remaining days is only touching off bitterer hatred and resentment among all fellow countrymen.

A war is not fought through a word play.

The army and people of the DPRK will make puppies ignorant of a real war have a bitter taste of the sacred war of Korean style, warns the commentary.
