Rodong Sinmun Hails First Successful H-bomb Test
Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- Through its first successful H-bomb test the DPRK has come to possess more powerful military muscle to reliably protect the sovereignty of the nation and peace on the Korean Peninsula from the enemies' challenges for aggression.

Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in an article.

It goes on:

The successful H-bomb test is a special event that settled the pent-up grudge of the fellow countrymen and dealt a merciless blow at the Korean nation's sworn enemy, the U.S. imperialists working with bloodshot eyes to launch a nuclear war against the DPRK.

A powerful nation would be unthinkable apart from strong military muscle in the present world where jungle law is in force. It is a bitter lesson taught by history that powerless justice is bound to be torn to pieces by brutal forces challenging justice.

The DPRK, holding the treasured sword of justice serving the purposes of peace, prosperity and civilization of mankind, put a definite end to the imperialists' unjust history of nuclear weapons. Gone forever are the tragic days when Koreans were thrown into distress and misfortune overnight after their country with a history spanning 5 000 years lost its sovereignty because of its weak military muscle.

The Korean nation is no longer a weak nation which used to be in the past when the Koreans could not but stand up with matchlocks against guns of foreign aggressors.

The imperialists are known to twist the world around their fingers. However, they dare not provoke the DPRK, terming it "most fearful rival". It is towering higher as an invincible power after its successful H-bomb test.
