The statement said:

The above-said largest-ever joint military drills targeting the DPRK are aimed to do harm to the supreme headquarters of the DPRK and mount a nuclear strike on it.

The world progressive forces such as the International Alliance of Societies for the Study of the Juche Idea and Songun Policy in East European and Central Asian Regions are bitterly denouncing the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet forces for their dangerous moves for aggression.

We extend full support to all the self-defensive measures to be taken by the Korean People's Army, the invincible revolutionary armed forces, including a preemptive nuclear strike to defend the country.

The DPRK's self-defensive measures are in full line with international law.
