A spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following press statement titled "The US Reckless Bluffing Military Demonstration Is a Futile Act of Increasing the Security Threat to Its Mainland Only" on Wednesday:

On April 15, the United States and the Republic of Korea staged a provocative joint air drill with "B-1B" strategic bomber involved under the pretext of the enhanced regular visibility of "extended deterrence".

The United States fully showed its confrontational attitude and will against the DPRK through its repeated demonstrative military actions.

The recent military moves of the United States and the Republic of Korea are an open threat to the security of our state and a grave provocation that raises the military tension in the region to an extreme dangerous level.

The continuous appearance of "B-1B" serves as an occasion of highlighting once again the fact that the United States and its vassal forces are the only ones that unilaterally escalate the military tension nowadays while inciting the hostile atmosphere of confrontation in the Korean peninsula.

Recently, the United States has renewed its record in openly deploying nuclear submarine, strategic bomber, aircraft carrier and other strategic assets in the Korean peninsula.

This fully shows that the deployment of the US strategic means on the Korean peninsula has been fixed as a routine military practice, not as part of emergency measures, and it is a constant, not a variable, threatening the regional security environment.

The gravity of the deployment of such strategic assets is not simply limited to the increase in the number of times, but it is the process of increasing the skilfulness in tactics and procedures for attacking the DPRK, and completing preparations for going into real action at any time.

The DPRK Ministry of National Defence strongly warns that the US bluffing military action that poses a serious danger to the sovereignty of our state and the regional situation will inevitably bring serious negative consequences to the security situation of the United States.

The DPRK will exercise the overwhelming deterrence and continue to make the United States recognize that its unannounced deployment of strategic means is a reckless and unnecessary abuse of strength, and get the United States realize by itself that the higher the level of provocation against the DPRK is, the greater the level of danger returning to the United States will be.

The armed forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will never tolerate the slightest sign of threat of the hostile forces against the security sovereignty of the state and will deter by dint of powerful force the US aggressive attempt to permanently fix the malignant instability element in the security environment of the region.
