IN DEFENCE OF SOVEREIGNTY

The third underground nuclear test the DPRK carried out in February was a resolute countermeasure it took to defend national sovereignty from the US hostile act of having grossly violated the DPRK’s legitimate right to the peaceful satellite launch.
The DPRK successfully placed its scientific satellite Kwangmyongsong 3-2, into orbit with carrier rocket Unha-3 in December last year.
French Le Figaro wrote that the successful launch of Kwangmyongsong 3-2 demonstrated the DPRK’s high technological level of the satellite blast-off. It noted that the DPRK succeeded in launching its satellite in spite of unfavourable winter weather and placed it exactly into orbit, through calculated trajectory, the fact which even the US recognized.
This notwithstanding, the US instigated the UN Security Council to fabricate another resolution on imposing further “sanctions” against the DPRK, abusing its launch of peaceful satellite as that of “long-range ballistic missile” and a grave challenge to global peace and security.
The satellite launch is a legitimate exercise by every member state of the world community of its inalienable sovereign right to peaceful use of outer space according to international law. So, if the US and its followers are allowed to launch their satellites at will, but the DPRK, which they regard with animosity, is not allowed to do so and should be punished with sanctions for its blast-off, it is nothing short of double standards applied in the extreme. There is a provision that encourages satellite launch in international law, but not one that prohibits it.
The US acts in 2009 were just the same.
When the DPRK announced that it would launch its trial satellite Kwangmyongsong, the US and its followers made a great fuss about it and said that they would “intercept” it. However, no one could break the faith and will of the DPRK to fairly exercise its sovereign right to peaceful use of outer space. After it launched its satellite the US manipulated the UNSC into adopting its presidential statement criticizing the DPRK. This led the DPRK to conduct second underground nuclear test in defence of its supreme interests and sovereignty. As for the UNSC resolution on sanctions against the DPRK that followed the latter’s nuclear test, the DPRK government stated that it would regard any attempt of blockade made by the US and its followers as an act of war and resolutely cope with it militarily.
An American professor commented that no country could match the DPRK in its aspiration for independence and self-sacrificing spirit to realize it.
The DPRK regards independence as its lifeblood. It is consistently implementing the line of independence in politics, self-sufficiency in the economy and self-reliance in national defence, and thoroughly embodying the principles of independence, peace and friendship in foreign relations. In essence, the DPRK’s lines, policies and activities are run through with independence.
It is out of question for the DPRK to sit idle when the US brought pressure to bear upon it following its launch of Kwangmyongsong 3-2. Therefore, it carried out its third underground nuclear test.
It was well-known that the DPRK had neither needed nor planned to conduct a nuclear test. The recent nuclear test was out-and-out a counter-productive result for the US and its followers. If they had not obstinately denied the DPRK’s sovereign right to the satellite launch and cooked up the absolutely unreasonable UNSC sanctions resolution, the DPRK would not have carried out its nuclear test, but concentrated its efforts on the economic construction and the improvement of the people’s living standards as it planned.
The world community regards the recent nuclear test of the DPRK as an inevitable step it had to take to safeguard its sovereignty and dignity from the US preemptive strike, threat, sanctions and pressure under the prevailing grave situation, as well as a punishment of justice for injustice.
In other words, the nuclear test of the DPRK is a just self-defensive measure to cope with the US hostile policy toward the DPRK and threats of nuclear preemptive strike. It has exercised its legitimate right as a sovereign state by coping the constant nuclear blackmails of the US with its nuclear deterrent.
As the world recognizes, the DPRK is a country with strong spirit of independence and does what it is determined to do.
Vishwanath, Director General of the International Institute of the Juche Idea, said that the DPRK’s successful third nuclear test served as an important occasion to demonstrate its national power and independent stand to the world once again.
Through the satellite launch and nuclear test, the DPRK showed again that the independent stand is the truth and that the truth is sure to emerge victorious.
Now the Korean people have turned out in an all-out showdown to defend sovereignty from the hostile acts of the US and its followers.
The world community will see clearly how the Korean people punish all the hostile forces and win the final victory in the struggle to defend its sovereignty.

U.S. SHOULD PONDER OVER GRAVE SITUATION: SPOKESMAN
    Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) issued the following statement Thursday:
    A tough-and-go situation is prevailing on the Korean Peninsula.
    U.S. formation of B-52s based on Guam flew into the sky above south Korea all of a sudden to stage a drill under the simulated conditions of a nuclear strike at the DPRK and formations of F-22s took off from Japan proper and Okinawa and were deployed in the Osan air force base in south Korea to watch for a chance to make a surprise strike.
    B-2s flew into the air over waters of the West Sea of Korea from the U.S. mainland and nuclear-powered guided missile submarines and guided missile destroyers of the U.S. Navy which had been operating in waters of the Western Pacific are busy sailing in the West and East Seas of Korea.
    It was reported that super-large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and its group will enter the waters off the Korean Peninsula soon after leaving waters of the Indian Ocean or the western coast of the U.S. mainland.
    South Korea and waters around it are turning into places for display of various types of nuclear strike means of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and a dangerous hotbed of a nuclear war in the true sense of the word.
    The U.S. high-handed hostile policy toward the DPRK aimed to encroach upon its sovereignty and the dignity of its supreme leadership and bring down its social system is being implemented through actual military actions without hesitation.
    Days and months have passed on this land amid the constant danger of war but never had the whole Korean Peninsula been exposed to such danger of a nuclear war as today.
    Under this situation the towering resentment of the DPRK's army and people has reached an irrepressible phase as they are all out in the all-out action to defend the sovereignty and prevent a nuclear war of the U.S.
    In view of the prevailing situation the world people who love justice and value conscience are unanimously becoming critical of the U.S. and its followers for their disgraceful behavior of prodding the UN Security Council into adopting "resolutions on sanctions" against the DPRK and vocal expressing concern over the situation on the peninsula.
    The moment of explosion is approaching fast. No one can say a war will break out in Korea or not and whether it will break out today or tomorrow.
    The responsibility for this grave situation entirely rests with the U.S. Administration and military warmongers keen to encroach upon the DPRK's sovereignty and bring down its dignified social system with brigandish logic.
    In view of this situation, the KPA General Staff in charge of all operations will take powerful practical military counteractions in succession as the KPA Supreme Command had already solemnly declared internally and externally.
    We have already sent a strong message to the present puppet authorities and military of south Korea following in the footsteps of traitor Lee Myung Bak so that they may understand our position.
    As a matter of fact, puppet military gangsters such as Kim Kwan Jin are human rejects not worth becoming targets of the DPRK's revolutionary armed forces.
    We formally inform the White House and Pentagon that the ever-escalating U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its reckless nuclear threat will be smashed by the strong will of all the united service personnel and people and cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means of the DPRK and that the merciless operation of its revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified.
    The U.S. had better ponder over the prevailing grave situation. -0-

Spokesman for NPCK Urges U.S., S. Korean Warmongers to Stop Their Rash Actions
    Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the National Peace Committee of Korea issued a statement on Thursday.
    The U.S. is now hurling latest nuclear war hardware into south Korea, pushing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of a war, the statement said, and went on:
    Defying public rebuff and criticism at home and abroad, the U.S. sent to south Korea Aegis destroyers John S. McCain and Decatur equipped with interceptor missiles and SBX-1 in the wake of its introduction of nuclear submarine Cheyenne, B-52, B-2A, F-22 under the pretext of the Foal Eagle joint military exercises.
    Worse still, it said it would send super-large nuclear aircraft carrier to the waters off the Korean Peninsula soon.
    The sky, land and seas of south Korea are deluged with U.S. latest nuclear war hardware.
    The U.S. imperialists have pursued ceaseless war moves since their occupation of south Korea, creating a tough-and-go situation several times. But never have they worked so desperately to launch a nuclear war against the DPRK with all type latest nuclear hardware involved as now.
    This is not a mere threat and blackmail against the DPRK and a demonstration of armed forces but a very dangerous military provocation to unleash a nuclear war on the peninsula at any cost.
    The U.S. seems to show off its muscle by introducing latest nuclear weapons into south Korea but this would get them nowhere.
    It is seriously mistaken if it thinks it can frighten the DPRK with such latest weapons.
    Cutting-edge weapons are not a monopoly of the U.S. and gone are the days never to return when it could invade other countries with nukes as it pleased.
    The DPRK already declared that it would no longer remain a passive onlooker to the U.S. imperialists' frantic moves to ignite a nuclear war but make every possible effort including a preemptive nuclear strike to defend the dignity of the supreme leadership of the country and the destiny of the nation.
    If the U.S. imperialists provoke a nuclear war against the DPRK, they will not be able to escape a miserable ruin in face of the powerful precision nuclear strike means of the DPRK.
    The south Korean puppet regime will not be an exception as it is offering south Korea as the ground for displaying supplicated nuclear weapons and theatre of test nuclear war of the U.S.
    The U.S. and the south Korean warmongers had better stop their rash actions, deeply aware of the gravity of the prevailing situation.
