The Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea in a joint statement disclosed in detail that the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces conducted the largest-ever joint naval drills in waters off the Korean peninsula.

No threat can frighten socialist Korea and its people and if the U.S. imperialists start a war against the DPRK, they will face the merciless military counterattack from the Korean People's Army and the clan of criminals led by warmonger Trump will not escape the punishment of justice, the statement said.

The editor-in-chief of the Belarusian magazine Social Education branded the above-said joint exercises as a provocative and reckless act against the DPRK.

He censured the U.S. and its vassal forces for their nasty moves to stifle the DPRK through sanctions.
