Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and its vassal sates are staging a series of nuclear operation drills on the Korean peninsula and in its vicinity after making a nuclear war against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea a fait accompli and opening to the public an extremely adventurous scenario for a nuclear war. This reckless act of aggravating the situation requires the armed forces of the DPRK to prepare for a rapid reaction capability and a thoroughgoing war posture.
The joint striking drill was conducted on May 8 to raise the fighting efficiency of long-range artillery and missile soldiers sub-units on the eastern front amid the intensive combat drills at all levels of the Korean People's Army being organized and conducted to improve the whole army's overwhelming capability for countering a war in the spirit of the Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un guided the joint striking drill of long-range artillery and missile systems.
He was accompanied by Pak Jong Chon, Jo Chun Ryong and Kim Jong Sik, senior officials of the WPK Central Committee, Full General Jang Chang Ha, general director of the Missile Administration of the DPRK, and Kim Yong Hwan, president of the Academy of Defence Sciences.
Mobilized in the drill were 600 mm multi-layer rocket system and tactical ballistic missile Hwasongpho-11-Ka.
The drill was aimed at making the sub-units acquire the procedures for the operation of the above-mentioned rocket and missile attack systems according to the state nuclear weapon combined management system.
A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK, introducing the drill, said that it would be a sufficient measure of action to show the rapid counteraction posture and capability of the armed forces of the DPRK capable of coping with the change of the military situation in the sensitive region where the enemies are aggravating.
Prior to firing, the drill inspected layer by layer the operational reliability of "Haekbangashoe" system.
There took place detailed trainings for making all the sub-units master the procedures and processes for rapidly switching over to the nuclear counterattack posture and a separate special lecture on the operation of the counterattack system for the commanding officers.
Then, the firepower sub-units hit simultaneously and in order, separately and jointly different targets of the enemy in the assigned direction and distance.
The goal of the drill was achieved and the reliability of the command and mobilization system capable of quickly reacting to any nuclear crisis was verified.
Stressing the need to steadily enhance the pivotal role of the nuclear force in all aspects of the strategy to deter war and the strategy to fight war, Kim Jong Un said that it is very important to steadily perfect the normal combat readiness of the nuclear force.
He said that the DPRK should continue to direct efforts to steadily improving the long-range precision striking capability and efficiency of weapons systems, proceeding from the security environment of our state and the realistic requirements of modern warfare.
He affirmed that the radical growth of the artillery force would foresee many changes in the practice of our future military actions and give greater and different possibilities to securing the operational capabilities of our army.
Saying that it is the consistent policy of the Workers' Party of Korea on building the armed forces to preferentially intensify the qualitative superiority of the artillery force with a firm viewpoint that strengthening artillery entirely means strengthening the fighting efficiency of the army and the nation's defence capability, Kim Jong Un set forth the important tasks for further increasing the combat reliability of the tactical nuclear weapon systems and steadily expanding the operational space in a compound way. -0-
