Pyongyang, November 8 (KCNA) -- No Kwang Chol, minister of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, on Friday issued the press statement titled "The DPRK armed forces' cognition against the enemy and counteraction will be more clearly manifested", which said:
Recently, the U.S. military has become brazen in its military moves to threaten the security of the DPRK, intentionally escalating the political and military tension in the region.
Amid the ongoing U.S.-ROK joint air drill Freedom Flag, the appearance of the super-large nuclear carrier George Washington task force belonging to the U.S. Seventh Fleet heralds the critical excess, further escalating the tension on the Korean peninsula.
Prior to this, military bosses of the U.S. and the ROK visited the area near the southern border of the DPRK to fan up war hysterics and held an annual security consultative meeting in which they conspired the strengthening of their deterrence to the DPRK and the rapid promotion of the process of integrating the nuclear forces with the conventional forces.
This is a stark revelation and an unveiled intentional expression of their hostile nature to stand against the DPRK to the end.
The enemies are committing such doings on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
This is the true circumstances of the Korean peninsula and an everyday occurrence.
What does the world expect us to do, imagining what position we will be in under such circumstances?
We have no other choice.
We have correctly understood the hostility of the U.S. to stand in confrontation with the DPRK to the last and will never avoid the response to it.
In the future, all threats encroaching upon our sphere of security will become direct targets of the DPRK and be managed in a necessary way.
We are ready to respond to everything.
We will show more offensive action against the enemies' threat on the principle of ensuring security and defending peace by dint of powerful strength. -0-
