Two U.S. nuclear-capable B-52s on Guam and six F-15s under Japan's SDF were reportedly involved in the drill.

Organizers of the war drill are claiming that the strategic bombers were not loaded with nuclear bombs. This was to cover up the provocative nature of the joint military drill.

Rodong Sinmun on Wednesday says in a commentary that it was the calculation of the Japanese reactionaries to turn back the trend of the regional situation toward the detente at any cost and then get benefit from such movement.

It goes on:

The Japanese reactionaries seek to strain the situation and realize their wild ambition for a military giant under the pretext of it.

The final goal of the Abe regime is to turn Japan into a war state.

The Japanese reactionaries are anxious about the fact that they will lose their justification of turning Japan into a military giant if a peace-keeping mechanism is set up on the Korean peninsula. They think that they can attain their goal by provoking a war under the cloak of "threat" from the DPRK and aggravating the situation.

The true colors of the hostile Abe regime as a disturber of peace are more clearly revealed with each passing day.
