Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a bylined article.

Unshakable are the resolution and will of all service personnel and people of the DPRK to root out the source of a nuclear war against it through merciless and practical military actions and realize the historic desire of the Korean nation for national reunification, the article says, and goes on:

The U.S. and its allies are escalating the offensive to isolate and stifle the DPRK over its satellite launch for peaceful purposes and frantically staging provocative joint military exercises for preemptive nuclear strike on the DPRK, terming the nuclear test for self-defence conducted by it to cope with such moves "threat."

It makes no sense to expect peace from the warmongers coming in attack with sophisticated weapons.

It is the only way of ensuring durable peace on this land to blow up the citadel of war.

The new regime in south Korea is following in the footsteps of traitor Lee Myung Bak who pursued confrontation with fellow countrymen.

This is evidenced by the following facts: The south Korean authorities were closeted with the U.S. over the provision of "extended deterrence" for preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK against the backdrop of the on-going Foal Eagle joint military drills. They signed a "plan for jointly coping with provocation of local war" and kicked up a noisy anti-DPRK "human rights" campaign in the international arena. Conservative media recently disclosed that a hideous operational plan was worked out to hurt the dignity of the DPRK's supreme leadership.

The south Korean group of traitors is the cancer-like entities lying in the way of national reunification as it is going mad with the moves to provoke a nuclear war in league with foreign forces, opposed to national reconciliation and unity.

The only conclusion drawn by the DPRK is that the poisonous herbs fostering national division and confrontation should be mercilessly rooted out by arms so that they may not sprout again. This is the only way of removing the root cause of national split and achieving national reunification.
