KPA General Staff Warns U.S., S. Korean Forces of "Special Operation"

Date: 26/03/2017 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, March 26 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces are busy staging madcap joint military drills for aggression with more than 300 000 troops, U.S. nuclear carrier Carl Vinson and B-1B and other nuclear strategic assets involved.

The on-going saber-rattling under the simulated conditions of an actual war assumes more serious nature as its goal is to carry out the "special operation" aimed to eliminate in advance "the person" of the DPRK with "the right to issue an order" and destroy major strategic targets for the purpose of checking the rapid bolstering of nuclear deterrent of the army and people of the DPRK and depriving it of the right to use nukes.

At least 3 000 U.S. troops or treble those involved last year are taking part in the "special operation" being conducted as part of the rehearsals. They include the Ranger Unit of the 75th Airborne Regiment of the U.S. Army, the Green Berets Special Units Nos. 1 and 19, the 353rd Special Warfare Corps of the Air Force, the 1st, 3rd 5th and 7th teams of the First Special Warfare Corps of the Navy, two battalions of the First Stryker Brigade of the 25th Division of the Army, one battalion of the 66th Armored Regiment and the 31st Naval Expedition Corps of the Marines.

A particular mention should be made of the fact that Navy Seal and Delta Force belonging to the joint special warfare headquarters called "detached force of the White House" are hurled into the "operation" at the direct instruction of the U.S. president.

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers do not hide the fact that the scenario of the "special operation" being staged by the ill-famed units is mainly aimed at carrying out the "beheading operation" for "removing the headquarters of the north" and the "preemptive attack" operation for blowing up the nuclear and rocket bases.

Through a spokesman's warning statement, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) on Sunday said that all moves assume more dangerous adventurous nature as they are nothing but last-ditch efforts and final gambling of the U.S. imperialists and the puppet military warmongers who are fated to meet destruction owing to the total bankruptcy of the hostile policy toward the DPRK and the policy of confrontation with the compatriots in the north. And it further said:

The General Staff of the KPA warns the hideous provocateurs as follows with regard to the situation that has reached an extreme phase which should not be overlooked:

1. The General Staff declares the KPA's stand to mercilessly smash the enemy's moves with its own style of special operation and preemptive attack, now that the sinister aim of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean war maniacs' "special operation" to hurt the dignity of the DPRK's supreme leadership has become clear and they disclosed even the dangerous attempt at "preemptive attack."

They are sadly mistaken if their brigandish "special operation" and "preemptive strike" would work on this land guarded by the powerful revolutionary Paektusan army though they claim they proved successful in other countries and regions.

2. They should be mindful that the KPA will deal deadly blows without prior warning any time as long as the operation means and troops of the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces involved in the "special operation" and "preemptive attack" targeting the DPRK remain deployed in and around south Korea.

The KPA will not remain a passive onlooker to hordes of robbers trying to hurt our people with daggers.

3. Once the enemy launches the said "operation and strike", they will only bring about a historic event in which the U.S. imperialists will face a miserable doom and the south Korean puppet forces a final ruin.

It is the centuries-old tragedy that the U.S. and the south Korean forces still don't know how foolish and futile their attempts to hurt the supreme leadership of the DPRK and infringe upon its sovereignty are, though they have stood in standoff with the latter for decades.

They should think twice about the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by their outrageous military actions.

The KPA's warning is not hot air. -0-
