Kim Kang Il, Vice-Minister of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, on Tuesday issued the following press statement titled "The US reckless military bluff and moves for escalating tensions will only increase security instability of its mainland":

Pentagon's confrontational attempt to permanently deploy nuclear strategic assets to the Korean peninsula and its vicinities to intentionally demonstrate the "upperhand in strength" and put military pressure on the sovereign states in the region is being manifested in a diverse way.

Shortly ago, the latest nuclear submarine of the US Navy openly revealed its shape at Pusan Port of the ROK. And, this time, B-1B bomber, one of the three air strategic assets of the US Air Force, will be reportedly to fly in the sky above the Korean peninsula and conduct a demonstration flight, timed to coincide with a military parade on the “ROK army day”.

The United States bluffing military demonstration is nothing but a "hallucinant" to save even a bit its military face driven into a strategic disadvantage in the Korean peninsula and calm down a sense of collapse of its stooge having a poor sleep at night from chronic nuclear phobia.

In June the US B-1Bs flew over the sky of the Korean peninsula to stage a joint air drill with military gangsters of the ROK and a precision guided bomb dropping drill for the first time in several years. And nuclear carrier Theodore Roosevelt entered the Pusan operational base to insist on the "combined defence posture" and "demonstration of extended deterrence". All those facts clearly show where the intemperate hysteric confrontation racket of the ROK is based on.

The Korean People's Army is keenly watching the frequent deployment of US strategic assets and their traces in the Korean peninsula and is fully ready to thoroughly defend the security environment of the state from any threat.

It is the invariable stand of KPA that the United States which is seized with violence and high-handed practices, should be governed from the stand of strength.

Now that the US unannounced deployment of strategic assets has fixed as an incurable bad habit, a measure of unpredictable strategic nature corresponding to it should be an inevitable and legitimate right of a sovereign state, and fresh methods of adding serious concern to the security of the US mainland should be surely produced.

We can examine such fresh action plans any time and carry them out.

The armed forces of the DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to the military provocative acts of the hostile forces escalated in three dimensions in the Korean peninsula and its vicinities, but take a thoroughgoing action corresponding to them and steadily improve their powerful war deterrent capable of initiatively coping with any instable situation of security caused by the US irresponsible acts.
