Kim Yo Jong, deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released on September 24 the following press statement titled "A strange object appeared in Pusan Port: US strategic assets would not find their shelter in the Korean peninsula."

The Aerospace Reconnaissance Agency, an independent intelligence organ directly under the head of state of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, captured a strange object at a wharf, a subject of its constant attention, in Pusan Port of the ROK at 10:03:10 on September 23 and reported its reconnaissance data to the top.

A nuclear submarine appeared on the wharf where a US aircraft carrier normally moored.

The latest nuclear submarine, which has seldom appeared openly since it was commissioned in 2020, made its appearance at the Pusan operation base for the first time. It can be hardly regarded as a "sightseeing voyage".

Given the US has been demonstrating its overall strength recently by making public the "might" of its nuclear strategic assets one after another, one can easily guess the true aim of the open visit of the nuclear submarine which should have been concealed under the “surface of water.”

In June the US forces launched a Minuteman-3 intercontinental ballistic missile twice and on September 18 they opened to the public test-flight images of B-21 Raider, a next-generation stealth strategic bomber, for the first time.

The US let the latest nuclear submarine of the US Navy anchor in Pusan Port of the ROK, thus taking out all its cards called "three nuclear strategic assets".

This clearly reveals the frantic military and strategic attempt of the US hell-bent on intentionally demonstrating its "superiority of strength" before the world.

The US is now experiencing unprecedented strategic inferiority in the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region and is very afraid of the reality in which an entity of the strong power of independence against the US, a fortress for defending justice, has made its appearance in the region.

Therefore, it is deploying all its nuclear strategic assets in the Korean peninsula and its vicinity while forming various large and small military blocs in the region to contain the DPRK and other independent sovereign states by force of arms and to "bind" the group of its followers who feel uneasy and impatient.

The QUAD summit meeting held in Delaware State of the US some days ago published the Wilmington Declaration taking issue with the "nuclear threat" from someone and the US-Japan summit held on the same day made a promise for the US-Japan-ROK cooperation to cope with the so-called "ever-increasing nuclear threat". These are also a typical outcome of the US geopolitical sinister intention to politically and militarily encircle and stifle the DPRK and regional countries.

The US latest nuclear submarine's visit to the port of the ROK is a proof that the US ambition to "enjoy" its hegemonic privilege by dint of its malicious strength at any cost while often taking up nuclear strategic assets, thereby boasting of its strength and increasing its threat to the rivals, is getting ever more extreme.

No matter how the US may demonstrate its "overwhelming capability" by surfacing even a submarine whose mission is to mount a final nuclear strike under the sea, nothing will change.

The DPRK's nuclear war deterrent to cope with and contain various threats from outside is bound to be bolstered up continuously and limitlessly both in quality and quantity as the security of the state is constantly exposed to the US nuclear threat and blackmail.

The US nuclear submarine's call in Pusan Port might be a break time for the US sailors and a comfort for the stooges of the US, but it can never be an object of fear for the super-powerful entity standing over against the US.

The US strategic assets will never find their shelter in the region of the Korean Peninsula.

We will continue to inform that all the ports and military bases in the ROK are not safe places.

The US is by no means a "pronoun for security".
