They went busy, convening the presidium of the "national security council" and issuing a "statement condemning the drill" as if a bomb was dropped on their head.

The warmongers staged a bombardment exercise by F-15K fighter after the chief executive cried out for demonstrating the "powerful punishment capability". They went the lengths of opening to the public the video of Hyonmu missile in the middle of drill.

Against this backdrop, they threatened to refer the issue of the ballistic rocket launch by the DPRK to the UN Security Council together with the U.S. and Japan, while crying out for the "tightened alliance" with the U.S. and introduction of nuclear strategic assets into south Korea.

Rodong Sinmun in a commentary Monday says this is not only the height of the persecution mania of those upset by the recent launch of the Juche weapon but also useless racket of those hell-bent on escalating confrontation.

The south Korean puppet forces are not free to fire even a single bullet as they are at the U.S. beck and call. Such guys are crying out for "punishment". This would make even the stone Buddha in the temple laugh.

The puppet forces would be well advised to stop the senseless acts and behave themselves. If they continue running reckless before the gun barrel of the strong Paektusan revolutionary army, the whole land of south Korea would be reduced to ashes.

They should properly understand that they will meet doom if they continue to run riot, relying on the U.S. which is not getting out of hot water.
