The U.S. made public its plan to additionally dispatch dozens of Apache copters to its Phyongthaek military base in south Korea.

Meanwhile, the Defense Department of the U.S. is busy with the moves to deploy high-performance radar in the sea in order to track and watch the DPRK's test launch of ICBM.

Even outgoing U.S. Secretary of Defense Carter at a press interview said the U.S. military would shoot down any missiles launched by the DPRK that appeared to be headed toward American territory or the territory of any U.S. allies.

They are frantic moves of those much upset by the DPRK's self-defence measure, Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says in a commentary.

It is foolish for the U.S. to think of intercepting the ICBM of the DPRK, the commentary says, adding:

The DPRK and the U.S. are technically at war. If the U.S. attempts to intercept the DPRK's ICBM, it will be tantamount to lighting the fuse of a war.

The DPRK regards the U.S. which is introducing lethal war hardware into south Korea and areas around it as a tiger moth which perishes in needless danger.

The Korean People's Army has long put not only all the aggression war means of the enemies but even their attack and logistic bases against the DPRK in the sighting range for precision strike.

The DPRK will not give up the test launch of ICBM because of other's blame.

The DPRK will steadily continue measures for bolstering up its defence capability, and its test launch of ICBM will be conducted under the resolution and at will of its supreme leadership as it had been already declared.
