Minju Joson Saturday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

The above-said moves of the U.S. are deliberate and dangerous military provocations escalating the tension on the Korean Peninsula.

The day after the statement of the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army was issued, the U.S. let fly B-2A, a major nuclear strike means of its air force, into the sky above south Korea. This is an ultimatum that it will ignite a nuclear war on the peninsula at any cost, an indication that it seeks to stand in confrontation with the DPRK to the last.

The DPRK is a nuclear weapons state whether one recognizes or not. Accordingly, the relations between the DPRK and the U.S. are the ones between nuclear weapons states. If the U.S. uses nukes, the DPRK is compelled to strike the U.S. mainland with its nukes. The DPRK has already declared its principled stand that it would react to the U.S. nuclear blackmail with a merciless nuclear attack and to a war of aggression with an all-out war of justice. The DPRK can never repress its anger as the U.S. is bringing the dark clouds of a nuclear war to hang over the DPRK while seeking to stand in confrontation with it to the last.

That was why the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, supreme commander of the KPA, finally examined and ratified the plan of the Strategic Rocket Force for firepower strike in view of the prevailing grim situation. This is a just military step for self-defence to put a definite end to the time when the U.S. used to threaten and blackmail the DPRK with its nukes.

Time has come to show the U.S. the might of Songun Korea.
