The organizations in their joint statement on March 23 assailed the U.S. for introducing nuclear strike means including B-52 into the Korean Peninsula, threatening the DPRK.

Such an unprecedentedly grave situation as nuclear confrontation is now prevailing on the Korean Peninsula, the statement noted, and went on:

The DPRK is standing up against the brigandish nuclear threat of the U.S. with powerful nuclear deterrent.

The service personnel and people of the DPRK are now firmly determined to take revenge upon the U.S. imperialist aggressors and fully ready to sternly punish the enemy once the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, the invincible and iron-willed Songun commander, issues an order.

The armed forces of the DPRK will blow up the enemy's strongholds.

The peace-loving DPRK does not want a war, but will never tolerate any repeated moves of the imperialists to ignite a war.

We resolutely denounce the U.S. moves for a nuclear war and fully support all measures taken by the DPRK.
