Prior to it, the KPA Supreme Command in a statement solemnly declared at home and abroad that the DPRK would demonstrate the will of all its service personnel and people for resolute counteraction through a practical military action.

This is a just step to put a definite end to the U.S. ever-mounting moves for nuclear blackmail with merciless nuclear attack and defend the dignity of the nation and the sovereignty of the country.

The U.S. imperialists' nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK have reached an extreme phase.

Involved in the nuclear war drills now under way throughout south Korea are huge nuclear war hardware including nuclear submarine Cheyenne, B-52 and B-2A which earned an ill-fame during the last Iraqi war. They are now busy staging drills for making nuclear strikes at targets in the depth of the DPRK.

What should not be overlooked is that it is not hiding the fact that the major target of these nuclear attacks is the supreme headquarters of the DPRK.

Looking back on the 60 odd year-long history of the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK, there has never been such time as today when its cruelty and danger reached such an extreme phase.

The U.S. scenario for a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula has entered a phase of its full-dress implementation, the stage of an actual war.

The outbreak of the second Korean war, a nuclear war is not a hypothesis but is becoming a reality.

It is the invariable aim sought by the U.S. to reduce everything in the DPRK to ashes in a twinkle through surprise "preemptive nuclear strike" and thus secure a bridgehead for realizing its strategy for world hegemony.

The touch-and-go situation prevailing on the peninsula is a product of the U.S. dangerous hostile policy toward the DPRK and nuclear threat and blackmail against it from A to Z.

It is the truth learned by the DPRK in the course of protracted confrontation with the U.S. that neither peace nor prosperity of the nation nor national reunification can be achieved unless the U.S. imperialists are eliminated.

The DPRK's revolutionary armed forces are keeping themselves most highly alerted with the will to react to the U.S. nuclear blackmail with merciless nuclear attack and a war of aggression with an all-out war of justice.

The cause of the DPRK's army and people out in the final stage of the all-out action against the U.S. is just and sure to win.

Their practical military action against the U.S. is the just cause to root out the cause of a war from the earth.

We are led by the illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu matchless in grit and stratagem and have Korean-style tremendous precision nuclear strike means and nuclear war methods.

The world will see how the DPRK will raze the U.S., the empire of evils, to the ground and emerge victorious.
