Our nuclear scientists dealt a heavy blow once again at the U.S. imperialists running amuck to cut off the lifeline of the DPRK with powerful H-bomb test, he said, adding:

We will make more sci-tech achievements for the country and the people like nuclear scientists.

O Pong Man, a workshop head of the East Pyongyang Thermal Power Plant, said:

I feel like seeing the wretched sight of the U.S. imperialists and other hostile forces stupefied with the news of the successful H-bomb test for ICMB conducted by nuclear scientists faithful to the Workers' Party of Korea's line of simultaneously pushing forward economic construction and the building of nuclear force. Our workers will increase electric-power production in the spirit of self-reliance so as to frustrate the enemies' sanctions and war moves.

Ri Il Hyok, a student of Pyongyang University of Architecture, said:

It is a stern warning of Songun (military-first) Korea that those who provoke us will find no place to survive on the earth.

We will display our might as the advancing group and a wing of the Workers' Party of Korea in the efforts to bring earlier the final victory in the building of a socialist power.
