Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in an article.

Aggressors wielding a nuclear stick should be countered with nuclear weapons only, it notes, and goes on:

The DPRK chose to have access to nuclear weapons in order to put an end to the brigandish and arbitrary practices of the U.S. imperialists to stifle it with nukes and firmly protect the sovereignty, dignity and safety of the nation.

The DPRK's capability to make nuclear strike is growing stronger hour by hour at the time when the will of its service personnel and people is running high to retaliate against the U.S. imperialists, the sworn enemy of the Korean people, and their stooges through just strikes.

Its military counteraction would be escalated till the U.S. imperialists and the puppet forces halt their provocations against the DPRK.

The powerful revolutionary Paektusan army is fully ready to mercilessly annihilate the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and the puppet army, the worst provocateurs, any time through preemptive attacks with all striking means deployed to go into action.

They will never be able to get out of the range of its strike.

The chieftains of evils are fated to meet a miserable end.
