Commenting on the fact, Rodong Sinmun Saturday says in an article:

The U.S. describes the DPRK's nuclear deterrence for self-defense as the "biggest threat to peace", but it is no more than a shameful logic and a brigandish deed to justify its crimes against peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The DPRK has had access to everything and gained everything it could do despite the harshest sanctions and blockade by the hostile forces, and it is a daydream to calculate that the DPRK can be shaken to change its attitude in face of the new "sanctions".

The enemies' reckless and ridiculous sanctions, pressure, threat and blackmail will offer an opportunity to the DPRK to bolster up its deterrence, while bring bitterer disgrace to them.

The DPRK, which towered as the most powerful nuclear weapons state despite the unprecedented difficulties and trials, is not afraid of any sanctions, pressure and war. It is now in full readiness to destroy the enemies' bases with its resolute and preemptive strike if they show any slight sign of provocation.

In case the U.S. opts for confrontation and war at last, defying the strategic position of the DPRK, nuclear power of Juche and a world military giant, it will meet horrible nuclear strike and miserable and final ruin.
