The statement said:

The DPRK's H-bomb test serves as a self-defensive measure for checking the U.S. moves for aggression and war, ensuring the security of the country and providing eternal peace in the Korean Peninsula.

We urge the U.S. and south Korean authorities to stop at once the war moves against the DPRK.

We are convinced that all the Korean people would frustrate the moves of anti-reunification forces at home and abroad and surely build a reunified and prosperous country.
