Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a commentary.

It goes on:

The U.S. is perpetrating grave provocations and threats but finding fault with the DPRK over its self-defensive acts. This goes to prove that the U.S. is narrow-minded, suffers from megalomania and has a wrong way of thinking.

The U.S. would be well advised to clearly realize what the DPRK is like.

The DPRK has the most revolutionary and brave service personnel and people who most value their leader, idea, social system, country and dignity and unhesitatingly devote their lives to protecting them.

No force can frighten the service personnel and people of the DPRK who have the iron faith, convinced of the validity of their cause, suffering from grim ordeals and ceaseless threats of war.

The U.S. tries to meet its interests by escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula and maliciously slandering the DPRK only to lose its face. If then, it will be impossible for the U.S. to talk about "provocation".
