Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article in this regard:

This is a trite method being employed by the U.S. to impair the prestige of the anti-U.S. and independent country and isolate it in the international arena through ridiculous red herring and justify their moves for aggression.

Before pressurizing and isolating other countries and launching military attacks on them, the U.S. has always given precedence to the false propaganda aimed to justify those actions.

With no false propaganda can the U.S. conceal its true colors as the chief culprit of a bio-chemical warfare.

The U.S. is, indeed, a criminal state which has imposed bigger misfortune and pain on mankind by using nuclear and bio-chemical weapons.

Bio-chemical weapons are the U.S. basic means for exterminating other countries and nations and a bio-chemical warfare is one of its basic military operations for realizing its world domination.

However, the DPRK will never allow the U.S. to hurt even a blade of grass and a tree in its inviolable territory.

The service personnel and people of the DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to the U.S. ever more undisguised moves for a new Korean war.

The U.S. would be well advised to stop acting rashly, clearly understanding the DPRK's strong will to fight it.
