U.S. and S. Korean Puppet Warmongers Stage North-Targeted War Drills
Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet warmongers Wednesday kicked off Vigilant Ace joint military drills for developing their combined wartime operational ability, according to south Korean Yonhap News.

Involved in the drills were five units under the command of the U.S. pacific military force such as the 51st combat air division and marine air division of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and ten units such as the 20th combat air division and the 38th combat fighter squadron of the puppet air force.

The exercises to be staged under the command of the 7th air force of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and the operational command of the puppet air force till Dec. 5 are reportedly to activate more than 450 soldiers with the flight of fighters from the U.S. military base in Japan to south Korea.

In that period the warmongers are going to stage drills for aerial combat under various codenames and examine the operational ability of the puppet aero-space operation headquarters through 24-hour continuous operation.

What merits serious attention is that the recent exercises are chiefly targeting the supreme headquarters of the DPRK and its major strategic core facilities.

The puppet Command for the Defense of Northwestern Islands run amuck in naval firing exercises around five islands in hotspot waters in the West Sea of Korea on Nov. 29.
