Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a bylined commentary says that this is the manifestation of the sinister intention to pose a military threat to the DPRK and step up pressure on it and provoke a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.

The huge increase of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea is a product of the conspiracy between the U.S. and the south Korean warmongers aiming at invasion of the DPRK, the commentary says, and goes on:

The U.S. brought the troops for aggression to south Korea to instigate the south Korean puppet forces, engrossed in confrontation with compatriots, to ignite a war of aggression. The puppet forces do not hesitate to stand in the van of provoking a war against the DPRK at the instigation of the U.S.

The reinforcement of the U.S. troops in south Korea will result in stoking military tension in Northeast Asia and igniting a nuclear war against the DPRK.

As long as the U.S. imperialist aggressors are allowed to station in south Korea, the danger of a nuclear war can never be removed.

The DPRK will mercilessly destroy the U.S. troops that have inflicted the pain of national division on the Korean nation for over half a century and are bringing the danger of a nuclear war.

When a decisive battle starts, the U.S. troops and military bases in south Korea will become the DPRK's first target.

The U.S. and south Korean puppet forces should bear in mind the DPRK's last warning.
