DPRK Government, Political Parties and Organizations Issue Special Statement

Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The DPRK government, political parties and organizations Wednesday issued a special statement denouncing the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet group of traitors for pushing the situation to the point of explosion through hideous provocations. The statement said: While frantically staging the largest-ever joint military drills Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 16 against the DPRK throughout south Korea, the enemies are pushing ahead with "scenario for attack drill part 2" the keynote of which is the "operation for advance into the northern inland area" targeting the strategic key area of the DPRK. This is the unprecedented and hideous provocation to the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and an open declaration of a war against it. The DPRK government, political parties and organizations clarify the following stand in view of the prevailing grave situation: Once there is a slight sign of the start of their foolish special operation, the Korean People's Army will promptly launch the battle for preemptive attack without hesitation and our people will courageously turn out in an all-people action to annihilate them to the last man in the sky, land and seas, keeping pace with the start of the operation by the infuriated revolutionary armed forces. The world will clearly see what a miserable end the aggressors and provocateurs will meet while going reckless to hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and "bring down its social system" in the eyes of the service personnel and people all out in the battle to devotedly protect their leader. -0-
