Pyongyang, March 21 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK on Thursday issued the following press statement titled "It is within the range of the option of the DPRK's armed forces to use the most deadly military means against the hostile forces seriously threatening the sovereignty and security of its state":
Recently the U.S. and the ROK military gangsters staged a special warfare drill aimed at "destroying the secret underground tunnel network" and "removing nuclear weapons" of someone as part of the large-scale war exercises Freedom Shield.
This proves that the joint military exercises of "defensive nature" much touted by the U.S. and the ROK are no more than a rehearsal of war of aggression aimed at invading and occupying the DPRK from A to Z.
During the period of Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military maneuvers in March 2016, the U.S. and the ROK staged the drills of "beheading operation" and "high-density strike" at strategic objects in accordance with OPLAN 5015. In 2017 they carried out "beheading operation" and "preemptive strike operation" drills targeting major military installations with a special unit more than 3 000-strong involved.
As the military provocations of the hostile countries are committed at the grave level that can never be overlooked and tolerated, clear is the stand of the DPRK's armed forces to counter them.
The DPRK's relevant law clearly stipulates what means and methods should be used in contingency to remove hostile forces threatening the existence of our state, and it is the mission of the armed forces of the DPRK to strictly observe and implement it.
All options for containing the U.S. and the ROK and for eliminating the source of provocation, if necessary, including the use of the most destructive and deadly military means, are under the consideration of our armed forces.
The accumulated reckless military moves of the U.S. and the ROK, seized with the daydream that they can jeopardize the sovereignty and security of a nuclear weapons state, can undoubtedly bring the gravest consequences they do not want.
The Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK strongly warns the U.S. and the ROK military to stop at once the irresponsible and dangerous military acts, issuing a warning once again about the catastrophic result to be entailed by the adventuristic saber-rattling of the hostile forces. -0-
