The DPRK successfully conducted the nuclear warhead explosion test, the statement said, and went on:

The test powerfully demonstrated again the tremendous power of the DPRK.

Scientists and technicians of the DPRK studied and manufactured nuclear warheads with their own strength and technology.

This is the great victory which can be achieved only by the DPRK.

The U.S. and its followers are now pulling up the DPRK over its nuclear warhead explosion test.

If the U.S. truly wants peace, it should end its hostile policy toward the DPRK and opt for concluding a peace treaty with it.

The eye-opening achievements made in the DPRK this year in succession show that if a small country has strong power, it can certainly beat back any formidable enemy.

We strongly demand the U.S. withdraw its forces from south Korea at an early date.
