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 record case of "simultaneous accidental bombings", in which two fighters of the puppet ROK army hell-bent on "firepower demonstration" air-raided a civilian village during a large-scale US-ROK live firing drill staged 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 dozens of civilian and military casualties and such heavy property damage as the destruction of private houses and vehicles.

Such accidental bombings are commonplace 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 towards the north a little further to cross the border of the DPRK.

The DPRK armed forces are now kept on full alert to cope with the malicious large-scale joint military exercises of the US and the ROK in the cease-fire area where the Korean war between the DPRK and the US exists in the present continuous form, the most dangerous area in the world in which nuclear forces are standing in confrontation with one another. 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 war rehearsals frequently staged by the US and its vassal forces precisely aiming at the DPRK are not for "peace and stability of the ROK and the region" as advocated by them, but are the most dangerous and undesirable doings germinating a touch-and-go situation, the world's first nuclear war.

Much frightened by 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, especially their 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 move of the enemies to cope with any unexpected developments and, if necessary, will go over to a merciless action without warning.

Then, they will have no time enough 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.
