Kim Chol Won, head of a department of the Ministry of Electric Power Industry, told KCNA:

I feel spicy to imagine the poor appearance of Yankees panic-stricken with the successful launch of our ICBM Hwasong-14.

I can hardly repress my surging emotion, seeing the televised image of the respected Supreme Leader who devotes himself to strengthening the DPRK into a dignified nuclear power, a world-level military power.

I will do my best for increased electricity production by modeling after the defence scientists and technicians, who raised the country's defence capabilities up to the world level with the spirit of devotedly implementing the Workers' Party of Korea's policies under the uplifted banner of "Forward in the do-or-die battle for the country and people!"

Yun Sun Yong, an official of the State Science and Technology Commission, said:

Another successful ICBM test-fire is a deed of high glory that chopped the crown of the U.S. again.

The U.S. imperialists are doomed to ruin, no matter how desperately they try to escape from it.

I extend warmest thanks to the respected Supreme Leader who brought about a great victory to be recorded in history by putting an end to the decades-long confrontation with the U.S. imperialists.

It is my determination to make more sci-tech achievements conducive to the building of an economic power with the spirit displayed by defence scientists.
