KCNA commentary on ROK's reckless military manoeuvres

The Korean Central News Agency released a commentary under the title "Reckless Military Manoeuvres Which Cannot Be Overlooked".

The commentary reads:

The military provocations being committed in a frantic way in the Republic of Korea from the first month of the new year serve as an occasion of highlighting once again what enemy our state is facing and how dangerous it may be enough to pay dearly for a moment's carelessness.

On January 3, when all countries of the world were still in the festive mood of the New Year, the puppet navy of the Republic of Korea simultaneously staged war drills with destroyers, escort ships and other warships and military planes involved in all waters of the East, West and South Seas.

Then, infantry, artillery and engineer units simultaneously staged various kinds of war drills and the armored brigades joined them to rattle the whole land of the Republic of Korea.

Amid the joint large-scale firing drills of the United States and the Republic of Korea to neutralize the long-range artillery force of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the US-Japan-ROK joint air drill was conducted in the sky over the Korean peninsula with the US strategic bomber "B-1B" involved on January 15 and, on the same day, the US and ROK air forces staged the air live-shell firing drill.

Then, the US and ROK air forces staged the first "Ssangmae" joint air drill for several days this year, and a joint special war drill aimed at a sudden attack on the DPRK was conducted.

The US air force in the Republic of Korea ended the month of January with the training for preemptive attack on the DPRK by making sorties of fighters despite heavy snowfall.

The war drills targeting the DPRK were staged almost every day till the last day of the first month of the new year. This predicts that the United States and the Republic of Korea would commit desperately their unprecedented military manoeuvres against the DPRK this year, too.

What should not be overlooked is that such war games are being staged in the lawless land where the political situation is confused and everything is in a mess due to such fierce scramble for power as a cockfight at coop

Everyone will guess easily how the DPRK will accept the fact that the "nuclear consultative group" of the United States and the puppets of the Republic of Korea is still working to stifle the DPRK with nukes and the war drills against it have been staged more intensively than ever before though diplomatic schedules were cancelled one after another due to the political chaos in the Republic of Korea.

The US and ROK’s irresponsible acts of escalating the regional tension that started from the outset of the year are still going on.

Hostile and adventurous acts will only entail undesirable consequences.
