Rodong Sinmun Exposes Aggressive Nature of Ulji Freedom Guardian

Pyongyang, September 3 (KCNA) --The large-scale Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercise kicked off by the south Korean puppet forces together with the U.S. across south Korea is by no means "regular" and "defensive" drill but dangerous military provocation aimed to make a surprise and preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK, observes Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a commentary.

The saber-rattling is escalating mistrust and confrontation between the north and the south, the commentary says, and goes on:

We will never overlook the madcap rehearsal being staged by the Park Geun Hye group for igniting a nuclear war against the north together with outsiders, but resolutely retaliate against it.

It is the resolute determination and will of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK to put a definite end to the moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces to unleash a nuclear war by dint of nuclear deterrence of justice.

The only way for the U.S. and the south Korean warmongers to escape the deadly strikes to be made by the DPRK, a military power possessed of the nuclear attack capability, is not to persist in the counterproductive adventure and reckless confrontation but to behave with prudence and self-control, not hurting the dignity and sovereignty of the DPRK.
