Pyongyang, March 5 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK released the following press statement on March 4:

The U.S. and the ROK kicked off again the provocative large-scale joint military drills to boost the unpredictability in the situation in the area of the armistice state.

The drills included a plan for outdoor mobile one which doubled the number of last year and even the armed forces of 11 satellite countries under the so-called "UN Command" without any justification for existence were mobilized.

The frantic war drills by the ROK puppets and vassal forces led by the U.S. make a clear contrast with the reality of the DPRK mobilizing large-scale military forces into economic construction for the promotion of the people's well-being, confirm again the source of regional instability and more clearly show who is the arch criminal threatening the mankind with nukes.

The large-scale war drills staged by the world's biggest nuclear weapons state and more than 10 satellite states against a state in the Korean peninsula where a nuclear war may be ignited even with a spark, can never be called "defensive".

The Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK strongly denounces the reckless military drills of the U.S. and the ROK for getting more undisguised in their military threat to a sovereign state and attempt for invading it and severely warns them to stop the moves further causing provocation and instability.

The armed forces of the DPRK will continue to watch the adventurist acts of the enemies and conduct responsible military activities to strongly control the unstable security environment on the Korean peninsula.

The U.S. and the ROK will be made to pay a dear price for their false choice while realizing that it causes their security uneasiness at a serious level every moment. -0-
