Rodong Sinmun Accuses U.S.-led Hostile Forces of Faulting DPRK's Steps for Self-defence

Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Hwasong artillery units of the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army staged a ballistic rocket launching drill in its territory to smash the ever-increasing nuclear threat and blackmail from the U.S., says Rodong Sinmun Friday in a commentary. Detailing the fact that the U.S.-led hostile forces are taking issue with the above-said rocket launching drill while justifying their illegal nuclear war maneuvers against the DPRK, the commentary notes: The army of any country has the mission to defend its sovereignty. Notably, for the DPRK which has long been exposed to nuclear threat and blackmail from the U.S. and sanctions imposed by it, its sovereignty and security and happiness of its people are unthinkable without the People's Army. No army in the world conducts a drill with the approval of the United Nations or in accordance with international convention as it is responsible for defending its own country. While staging provocative joint war rehearsals with huge aggressor forces involved to seriously threaten global peace and security, the U.S.-led hostile forces are kicking up a row over the steps taken by the DPRK for bolstering up its capability for self-defence, terming them something very serious. This is, indeed, the height of impudence characterized by arrogance and arbitrariness. By doing so, they seek to shift the blame for the worst-ever situation on the Korean peninsula onto the DPRK and justify their moves for aggression against it. But this is no more than last-ditch efforts of the warmongers frightened by the tremendous military muscle of Songun Korea. |
