Upon receiving the news, the army and people of the DPRK are condemning and rejecting the "sanctions resolution" as flagrant infringement upon the sovereignty of the country.

Sin Kwang Jin, an officer of the Korean People's Army, told KCNA:

The U.S. is getting more impatient for the DPRK's nuclear deterrent, but it can not be construed otherwise than its recognition of the victory won by the DPRK.

It is a mistake for the U.S., quite ignorant of the DPRK, to think that sanction is almighty. The DPRK's powerful nuclear deterrent is not the product of favorable condition or surroundings, but the one it has developed with the sprit of self-reliance and self-development, despite of the U.S. heinous moves to stifle and blockade it. Therefore, our nuclear weapons of justice will mercilessly hammer the nuclear of tyranny.

Ho Nam Chol, a faculty dean of Kim Chol Ju University of Education, said:

It is none other than the U.S. who brings a dark cloud of nuclear war to the Korean peninsula and jeopardizes peace and security in the region and the rest of the world.

The U.S. has staged a series of joint military drills against the DPRK with various strategic nuclear strike means like nuclear submarines and nuclear strategic bombers involved. That is why the DPRK has built and bolstered up its nuclear deterrence in quality and quantity.

So Song Il, director of an institute of the Academy of Social Sciences, said:

The U.S. has remained unchanged in posing nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK for over half a century, but it only propelled the DPRK to nuclear weapons state. And its persistent anti-DPRK hostile policy drives the DPRK into accelerating the modernization of nuclear force.

The DPRK will further demonstrate its dignity and might as an independent nuclear power, invincible military power.
