Pyongyang,
December 19 (KCNA) -- The Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of
Korea (WPK) gave an order to take a powerful warning measure under the grave
situation, in which the hostile forces' anti-DPRK military threat that has
persisted for the whole of this year is getting evermore undisguised and
dangerous even at this moment of year-end December.
On
December 15, the U.S. and the military gangsters of the Republic of Korea held
a nuclear war confab called the second meeting of the "Nuclear
Consultative Group" in Washington and openly revealed their intention to
conduct large-scale joint drills under the simulated conditions of an actual
war of "nuclear retaliatory strike" at the DPRK, again crying out for
the "end of its regime".
Such
reckless behavior of the enemies, posing evident threat to the security of the
Korean peninsula and the region under the eyes of the world in the coming year,
is further touching off the strong resentment of the government and armed
forces of the DPRK and their will to take the toughest retaliation.
The
enemies have determinedly strained the regional situation by staging various
kinds of escalated military drills targeting the DPRK every month since
January, recording the largest-ever level. And they are now loudly announcing
the planned war drills aggressive in nature to be further detailed in the new
year. The present situation clearly shows the inveterate confrontation stand of
the U.S. and its predominant stooges keen on their unchangeable instinctive and
constitutional ambition for aggression and predicts a black augury of total destruction
of the security environment in the Korean peninsula to be further aggravated.
What
should not be overlooked is the fact that the U.S. again dispatched its
nuclear-powered submarine Missouri to the Korean peninsula, as an extremely
provocative action, on Dec. 17 to pose a more grave threat to the security
environment of the DPRK and the region, loudly advertising about it, not
content with the frequent deployment of nuclear war hardware of various kinds
including nuclear strategic bombers, super-large strategic nuclear submarine
and nuclear carrier in the Korean peninsula to turn it into an assembly base
for all the U.S. nuclear strategic assets.
Due
to the confrontational maneuvers of the U.S. and its puppet military gangsters
who are escalating the tension on the Korean peninsula, going in and out the
region like their house, the territory of the DPRK and its boundary area are
exposed to serious danger every moment and its security and interests are
extremely violated. This grave situation is urgently requiring the DPRK to
inevitably turn over to a changed action, a more offensive counteraction.
Under
the decision of the WPK Central Military Commission on neutralizing the
enemies' intentional and premeditated confrontational military threats with our
strong behavioral warning, a drill of launching ICBM Hwasongpho-18 was staged
as an important military action to clearly show the DPRK's nuclear strategic
forces' overwhelming counteraction will and matchless strength to the enemies.
Kim
Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the
State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, watched the
launching drill of an ICBM unit on the spot.
Accompanying
him were commanding officers of the DPRK General Missile Bureau.
The
drill was aimed to review the combat readiness of the DPRK's nuclear war
deterrence and confirm its mobility, combat capability and reliability.
The
respected Comrade Kim Jong Un listened to the plan for the launching drill,
acquainting himself with the preparation for launch in a standby district
beforehand.
Then
he mounted the central command observation post to approve the launch of a
strategic weapon, and General Jang Chang Ha, general director of the General
Missile Bureau, issued a launch order to the Second Red Flag Company.
The
moment, a huge body full of the absolute will and strength to mercilessly
retaliate against the hostile forces obsessed with the ambition for nuclear
confrontation with the DPRK began soaring into the sky with a shower of fire in
its tail, making a deafening explosion.
The
missile traveled up to a maximum altitude of 6 518.2 km and flew a distance of
1 002.3 km for 4 415s before accurately landing on the preset area in the open
waters off the East Sea of Korea.
The
launching drill had no negative effect on the security of the neighboring
countries.
Through
the drill, the combat capability of ICBM unit was highly estimated. And also
verified once again were the rapid response posture of the strategic armed
forces of the DPRK and the reliability of the most powerful strategic core
striking means of the DPRK's military muscle.
Expressing
great satisfaction over the results of the launching drill,
Kim
Jong Un said with pride that the successful drill is a practical demonstration
of the actual condition and reliability of the formidable striking capabilities
and absolute nuclear war deterrent possessed by the DPRK's armed forces.
He
said that the launching drill sent a clear signal to the hostile forces, who
have fanned up their reckless military confrontation hysteria against the DPRK
all the year round and are frantically maximizing it till the end of this year
despite the repeated stern warnings and denunciation by the DPRK. Noting that
it was an occasion to clearly show what action the DPRK has been prepared and
what option the DPRK would take when Washington makes a wrong decision against
it, he appreciated that the drill once again and strikingly displayed the
DPRK's will for toughest counteraction and its overwhelming strength.
The
U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces' vicious ambition for confrontation
will not abate of its own accord, he said, stressing the need for the DPRK to
never overlook all the reckless and irresponsible military threats of the
enemies destroying the basis of peace and security in the Korean peninsula and
to strongly counter them with more offensive actions by adopting a more
evolutionary and threatening way when the enemies continue to make a wrong
choice.
He
inspected the launching drill and set forth some new important tasks for
accelerating the development of the DPRK's nuclear strategic forces.
The
ceaseless bolstering of the national defense capability and the overwhelming
counteraction are the consistent and immutable revolutionary policy and
fighting spirit of the DPRK that can never change to defend the national
dignity, sovereignty and interests. The nuclear strategic forces of the DPRK
will perfect their military posture with more accuracy and confidence to
resolutely suppress any grave military crisis and war crisis that may come at
any moment.
