South Korean puppet forces also staged a drill to rescue pilots from distress together with aircraft of the U.S. Air Force from July 11 to 15.

Meanwhile, they allowed the U.S. Navy's super-large nuclear submarine Ohio to enter into Pusan Port.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Monday says that these war rehearsals were prompted by their dangerous scenario for unleashing a war to stifle the DPRK by force of arms, dead-set against detente and peace.

It goes on:

The U.S. and the south Korean puppet regime remain unchanged in their black-hearted scenario to put military pressure on the DPRK through their ceaseless war maneuvers under the pretext of "provocation" and "threat" from it and start a war against it by stepping up the preparations for a preemptive nuclear strike at it.

The above-said drills were prompted by this scenario.

The DPRK is the primary target of the RIMPAC.

A litany of rhetoric reeled off by the south Korean puppet regime about "threat of sub-launched ballistic missiles from the north" would not help cover up the aggressive nature of RIMPAC.
