The happy news has given the conviction in sure victory and optimism to the servicepersons and civilians throughout the country.

Dr. Ri Jong Chol, section chief of the Socio-politics Institute under the Academy of Social Sciences, told KCNA:

I'd love to offer my warm congratulations to the defence scientists and technicians for having provided a sure sci-tech guarantee for developing the system of strategic weapons through the test-fire.

The test-fire displayed once again the strength of Juche Korea and this shows part of Songun Korea's steadily-growing preemptive nuclear attack capability.

The whole world may feel the DPRK's tremendous might through the flight track of ballistic rocket Hwasong-10.

The U.S. should reconsider its futile policy of hostility toward the DPRK with this historic event as an occasion.

Jo Hong Gun, a general officer of the Korean People's Army, said:

The test-fire confirmed the DPRK's actual capability to attack in an all-round way the Americans in the Pacific operation theatre with strategic ballistic rockets from self-propelled launching pads.

It is perhaps a deadly blow to the U.S. and its followers posing constant threats to the DPRK.

The successful launch goes to clearly prove that the heroic KPA is the most powerful armed forces defending with deterrent the country and the people from the U.S. nuclear threats as well as safeguarding the regional and global peace.
