The statement said:

The U.S. again kicked off the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military maneuvers against the DPRK together with south Korea despite the unanimous protest and denunciation of the world peace-loving people, pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of war. In addition to this, the U.S. is stepping up the unprecedented moves to stifle the DPRK, talking about the nonexistent "human rights issue" there.

The U.S. is branding the just rocket launching drills conducted by the DPRK between February 21 and March 4 as a "provocation" and a "violation of the resolutions of the UN Security Council" while doing everything as it likes to stifle the DPRK.

The above-said facts patently reveal the U.S. brigandish nature characterized by its shamelessness and brazen-facedness.

We scathingly condemn the aggressive and brangandish acts of the bellicose and arrogant Yankee imperialists.

The U.S. should drop its bad habit of deliberately blaming others and properly know the military muscle built by the DPRK with Songun.

The south Korean authorities should roll back the policy of toeing the U.S. line, advance along the road of reunification of Korea and stop at once the reckless joint military exercises with the U.S.

Brave service personnel and people of the DPRK, rallied close around Marshal Kim Jong Un, are closely following the moves of the hostile forces to stifle the DPRK. If a war breaks out on the Korean peninsula, they will mercilessly punish the arrogant U.S. imperialist aggressors.
