Ballistic Rocket Launching Drill Is Right for Self-defence of Sovereign State: KPA Strategic Force Spokesman
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and its vassal forces are running around like a chicken with its head cut off following the ballistic rocket launching drill conducted by Hwasong artillery units of the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army (KPA) on March 6.

It is against this backdrop that the UN Security Council, at the instigation of the U.S., Japan and the south Korean puppet forces, made public a press release terming the KPA's ballistic rocket launching drill as "threat" and "violation of resolution", after discarding international justice and impartiality once again.

A spokesman for the Strategic Force of the KPA in a statement Thursday said that there is no country in the world whose army responsible for the defence of the state takes into account the approval by the UN or article of the international convention when staging exercises and it does not make sense to claim that the KPA's rocket launching drill becomes a threat to world peace and security.

The statement went on:

We have never acknowledged the illegal "resolution" cooked up by the U.S. and its vassal forces.

The aggressors and provokers keen on holding the largest-ever nuclear war drills against the north after massively introducing nuclear strike means in and around the Korean peninsula are finding fault with the regular and just drill of the KPA for defending sovereignty. This is nothing but a strange act like a thief crying "stop thief".

No matter what rhetoric the aggressors and provokers may make, our Strategic Force will more perfectly arm itself with our-style rockets of super precision and intelligence and further round off the Juche-based rocket strike war methods.

The U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces should clearly bear in mind that our warning that if a single bullet is fired into the areas where the sovereignty of the DPRK is exercised, it will blow up the bases of aggression and provocation with the matchless Hwasong artillery pieces mounted with nuclear warheads, is not hot air.
