Kim Chol Ho, a workshop head of the Kim Jong Thae Electric Locomotive Complex, told KCNA:

I feel stirring upon receiving the news about the successful test-fire of surface-to-surface medium long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-10. It makes me feel high pride as a citizen of Songun Korea with powerful military muscle.

Though the U.S. and other hostile forces dare provoke the DPRK, we feel encouraging for having such powerful military strength.

I extend heartfelt congratulations to defence scientists and technicians for the successful test-fire. We, workers, will strive to make greater achievements in the on-going 200-day campaign.

Ri Hyok Chol, a work-team leader of the Migok Cooperative Farm in Sariwon City, said:

Thanks to the self-defensive nuclear deterrent, we feel happy and optimistic.

We, farmers, will surely bring a bumper harvest this year in the spirit displayed by defence scientists and technicians.

Choe Song Ryong, a brigade commander of the High-Speed Youth Shock Brigade, said:

I feel extremely exciting upon receiving the news about the successful test-fire.

With the successful launch as an occasion, the U.S. and the other hostile forces should keenly be aware of that it is impossible for them to hinder Songun Korea in advancing towards a socialist thriving nation.

Regarding the construction site of Ryomyong Street as a battlefield against the U.S. and other hostile forces, all members of the shock brigade will demonstrate the might of the DPRK all over the world by completing Ryomyong Street at an early date.
