Rodong Sinmun in an article says there is no guarantee that the U.S. will not ignite a war while staging the war exercises under the simulated conditions of a preemptive nuclear strike with huge forces of aggression involved.

Prior to the joint military drills, the U.S. imperialists conducted a missile launch drill in the mainland and a joint landing drill with the Japan "Self-Defense Forces", thereby not hiding the fact that they began finally examining the feasibility of a war against the DPRK and the scenario for fighting it, the article says, and goes on:

As the enemies' drills have turned out to be the most undisguised nuclear war rehearsals to infringe upon the sovereignty of the DPRK, its military counter-measure will be more preemptive and offensive nuclear strike.

If the U.S., empire of evils, ignites a war on the Korean peninsula, this will be a signal of its ruin.

If the U.S. imperialists ignite the second Korean war finally, the strong military muscle of the DPRK will pound the enemy positions by the Juche-oriented war method, unimaginable and unprecedented.

The enemies will find no place safe from the strike of the powerful revolutionary Paektusan army.

Minju Joson in a commentary says that the U.S., which was the first to inflict nuclear disasters upon mankind and has resorted to nuclear threat and blackmail, will disappear in face of the just nuclear strike of the army and people of the DPRK.
