KCNA Commentary: Evil Presage of Dangerous US-ROK Joint Military Exercises

Date: 13/03/2025 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

Shortly ago, there occurred an accident showing why the US-led bilateral and multilateral joint military drills, staged frantically in the Korean peninsula, are so dangerous and why they deserve the denunciation by the world people.

With the full-scale operation of the worst-ever joint military exercises Freedom Shield 2025 near at hand, there took place a case of “simultaneous accidental attacks,” in which two fighters of the puppet ROK army hell-bent in “firepower demonstration” air-raided a civilian village during a large-scale US-ROK live shell firing drill as a prelude to the exercises.

It was reported that the intensive dropping of eight bombs, due to the pilots’ mistakes in inputting coordinates, caused tens of civilian and military casualties and such property damage as the destruction of dwelling houses and vehicles.

Such accidental firing case is a common practice for the US forces and the ROK army, but what merits an attention is the fact that the case occurred near the southern border of the DPRK on the eve of the large-scale joint military exercises simulating an all-out war against the DPRK.

As reported by the New York Times and other US and puppet ROK media, there is no need to explain how the situation would have developed if a bomb had been dropped a little further north across the border of the DPRK.

The DPRK armed forces are now keeping highly alert to cope with the malicious large-scale joint military exercises of the US and the ROK in the area, where the DPRK and the US are still technically at war after a ceasefire, the most dangerous area in the world in which nuclear forces stand in confrontation with each other. Under such situation, it is not unreasonable to imagine that an accidental spark might have plunged the Korean peninsula and the region and the rest of the world into a new armed conflict.

The recent case is no more than an example showing that various kinds of the DPRK-targeted war rehearsals frequently staged by the US and its vassal forces are not for “peace and stability of the ROK and the region” as advocated by them, but are very dangerous and undesirable doings germinating a touch-and-go situation, the world’s first nuclear war.

Frightened at the danger of such horrible situation, the US and the ROK have now turned Freedom Shield 2025 into a kind of “dumb exercises” prohibiting any live firing. However, they can neither conceal nor quell the danger and gravity of the exercises amplified at home and abroad.

Unless the enemy states including the US and the puppet ROK military gangsters stop their frantic war games in the Korean peninsula, a threat to peace and security environment of the DPRK and the region will last forever.

The DPRK is keeping a close watch on every reckless military movement of the enemies to cope with any unexpected developments and, if necessary, will go over into a merciless action without warning.

Then, they will have no time to excuse themselves.

The enemies should seriously approach the evil presage of the dangerous US-ROK joint military exercises and stop at once the nuclear war rehearsals, the root cause of aggravated situation in the Korean peninsula, rather than breathing a sigh of relief.
