The U.S. imperialists are the root cause of the split of the Korean nation and all sorts of its misfortune and pain and the sworn enemy of the Koreans as they are standing in the way of the reunification of Korea, the cherished desire of the nation, and working hard to ignite a nuclear war on this land, the statement said, and went on:

At this time, too, they are staging DPRK-targeted madcap joint military exercises in the sky, land and seas of south Korea under various codenames together with the south Korean warmongers after massively introducing huge aggression forces and war hardware into it.

Defying the repeated warnings of the DPRK, they let B-52, B-2A and other strategic nuclear fighter bombers make sorties to the sky above south Korea in succession for nuclear bomb-dropping drills, escalating the threat to the DPRK.

This clearly proves that the U.S. imperialists' scenario to launch a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula at any cost has reached an extremely reckless phase of its implementation.

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet group of traitors have worked out even a scenario to bring down the monuments to the immortality of the leaders, symbolic of Songun Korea.

As already clarified by the DPRK, gone are the days when it could have verbal exchange with them.

To wage a merciless just retaliatory war is the only way of rooting out the source of the danger of a nuclear war on this land and build a peaceful and prosperous reunified thriving nation where all Koreans live together.

The U.S. imperialists and pro-U.S. group of traitors should clearly know that the moment when they ignite a war of aggression will be a beginning of their miserable fate as it will precipitate their final destruction.

When they unleash a war against the DPRK, its disasters will be brought to the south Koreans.

The south Korean people should turn out as one in the just action against the U.S. to resolutely foil the anti-DPRK nuclear war racket kicked up by the U.S. imperialists and the puppet group, clearly understanding what is the root cause of the present situation and what disastrous consequences will be entailed by it.
