Rodong Sinmun Friday in an article terms this a bandit-like violent action.

The article says:

The DPRK has opposed all forms of terrorism and support for it. It acceded to major international pacts against terrorism and has done its bit as a member of the international community to put a definite end to terrorism.

The Trump administration's reckless re-designation of the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism" is just last-ditch efforts of a pack of rabid dogs unable to hinder the DPRK from finalizing its process for bolstering the state nuclear force.

The U.S. and its vassal forces' desperate moves to check the advance of the dignified DPRK by re-designating it as a "sponsor of terrorism" under the pretext of "threat" to global peace and security will get them nowhere.

Such moves only harden the faith of its army and people to take the path chosen by them to the end as it is a right one.

The Trump cult should bear in mind that it will have to pay dearly for its desperate moves to stifle the DPRK. It should retract its hostile policy toward the DPRK and the above-said re-designation.
