These war exercises are now under way with main emphasis on rounding off the naval tactical movement and methods of attacking DPRK's submarines, warships and flying corps, conducting naval bombardment, discharging torpedoes, dropping underwater bombs and mines and infiltrating commandoes.

Through these exercises the puppet forces openly advocate "demonstration of forces" and "strong pressure" upon the DPRK and put them into action. This saber-rattling is targeted against the DPRK and Northeast Asia, to all intents and purposes.
