“Our response will be more complete and ruthless while the provocative ones persist,” they have pointed out.
North Korea warned on Monday of a continued, determined and overwhelming response to the “reckless military frenzy” between USA Y South Korea, that these days are carrying out joint military training.
Specific, Pyongyang has maintained that it will respond to the ‘Storm Vigilante’ maneuverwhich has been recently expanded in time by Washington and Seoul in reaction to recent intense missile launches by North Korea.
“The enemy’s large-scale joint air exercises are, in fact, an open provocation that intentionally heightens regional tensions and, in particular, a dangerous war exercise with a very aggressive nature directed directly at our country,” said the North Korean government, according to the KCNA agency.
He has also described “all recent and challenging moves” by the United States and South Korea as “unacceptable” and “aggressive”.
For this reason, and to demonstrate “a complete and resolute will to respond to a desperate situation”, the North Korean Army would have carried out a simulation of an alleged attack on a South Korean airbase firing four ballistic missiles and launching 23 surface-to-air missiles in recent days.
In addition, Pyongyang reportedly aimed one of the ballistic missiles at “an uninhabited island in the front,” referring to Ulleung Island. Last Wednesday the North Korean Army fired a projectile that fell near said islandactivating the aerial siren in some areas of South Korea.
“Through the operation, the North Korean Armed Forces responded thoroughly to joint enemy air drills (…) The counter-military operation carried out by the Korean People’s Army is our unequivocal response that our response will be more complete and ruthless as long as the provocations persist,” said the North Korean Executive.
“The General Staff of the Korean People’s Army reiterates once again that it will respond to all kinds of war exercises against North Korea of the enemy with continuous, determined and overwhelming practical military measures,” he added.
