The statement denounced the U.S. and the south Korean warmongers for staging the largest-ever war games for invading the DPRK, pulling up it over its nuclear deterrent to put an end to the hostile forces' persistent military provocations and nuclear threats that have lasted for more than half a century.

The U.S. and south Korean warmongers should clearly know that all the measures taken so far by the DPRK are legitimate and fair and aboveboard ones of a sovereign state.

The DPRK remains unfazed in face of any threat and blackmail thanks to the treasured sword of Songun, though the danger of a nuclear war is increasing on the Korean peninsula due to the U.S.-south Korea joint military drills targeting the DPRK, and its army and people will surely build a thriving socialist nation true to the behests of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, it stressed.
