Press Statement of Vice Minister of National Defence of DPRK

Date: 24/06/2024 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- Kim Kang Il, vice-minister of National Defence of the DPRK, Monday made public the following press statement "The DPRK strongly denounces provocative action of hostile forces with all possibilities of demonstrating deterrence":

We are witnessing the reckless option and action of the U.S. once again.

It means the fact that the nuclear carrier Theodore Roosevelt task force called at an operational base in Pusan on June 22.

It is as clear as noonday why the U.S. dispatched the nuclear carrier and who is its aim at present.

The deployment of the nuclear carrier across the ocean from the opposite side of the earth, tens of thousands of ri (10 ri equal to 4 kilometers) away from the Korean peninsula, on the doorstep of the DPRK will be by no means aimed at "repairing and readjusting" the carrier aircraft and "celebrating" the ROK-U.S. alliance.

Recently, the U.S. and its stooges, who have malignant hostility and doubt as a congenital disease, hurled abusive language with their furred tongues and are again conducting dangerous visible action, while showing symptoms of epileptic state on the normal development of relations between the friendly sovereign states.

A drill of dropping a precision guided bomb from the U.S. strategic bomber B-1B was conducted on June 5, the "guidelines on nuclear strategic plan and its operation" examined at the ROK-U.S. nuclear consultative group (NCG) on June 10 and the special joint air drill staged by the U.S. and the ROK on June 17-20. Those are common examples showing well why the regional situation is getting worse.

It is a very dangerous play and adventure for the U.S. and the ROK to resort to the armed demonstration before the DPRK.

The DPRK bitterly condemns the provocative attempts of the U.S. and the ROK, the heinous confrontation maniacs with the most powerful rhetoric and with all possibilities of demonstrating its overwhelming and new deterrent force.

The U.S. and the ROK should immediately stop their dangerous attempts and be prudent. -0-
