Rodong Sinmun Assails S. Korean Puppet Forces' Saber-rattling

Pyongyang, July 18 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet warmongers recently staged a combined drill of the marine corps together with the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in Phohang area of North Kyongsang Province. Under the fire-cover of fighters, helicopter gunships and various type artillery pieces the rapid task force of the marine corps of south Korea together with the U.S. marines stationed in Okinawa conducted a landing operation aboard those copters and armored cars under the simulated conditions of seizing key facilities of the enemy. Rodong Sinmun Monday says in a commentary in this regard: The aim of the drill was to hasten the preparations for mounting surprise attack on the key facilities of the DPRK from the coast and ignite a war against it. This goes to clearly prove that the scenario of the warlike forces at home and abroad to unleash a war against the north by challenging its peace-loving efforts has reached an extremely reckless phase. The Park Geun Hye group is a herd of disturbers of peace and traitors that should not be allowed to go scot-free as they are getting ever more desperate in their moves to ignite a nuclear war, escalating tension in collusion with outside forces, not content with having driven the north-south relations to the worst catastrophe. The puppet group's such muscle flexing as combined drill of the marine corps with the U.S. is as foolish an act as jumping into flames to perish there. The aggressors will not have any opportunity to set foot on the inviolable territory of the DPRK. The defence line of the DPRK safeguarded by the matchless revolutionary Paektusan army is like an impregnable fortress. The DPRK will mercilessly beat back the military provocations of the puppet group to prolong their remaining days, backed by the U.S. -0-
