Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says in a bylined commentary in this regard:

The exercise, the first of its kind staged in the area along the Military Demarcation Line, was reckless saber-rattling aimed to ignite another Korean war at any cost in league with the south Korean puppet warmongers.

The aggressive and dangerous nature of the exercise found a vivid manifestation in that the 2nd Division played a main role in the military exercise.

This division is busy with exercises for a war of aggression against the DPRK while massively introducing war equipment based on the ultra-modern science and technology.

What merited a serious attention at home and abroad was that the maneuver was watched by the commander of the 8th U.S. Army in south Korea.

The 8th U.S. Army had already been reorganized as a field army.

The above-said fact clearly suggests that the recent saber-rattling was designed to examine a military operation for preemptive attack on the DPRK.

It is the immediate scenario of the U.S. to threaten and blackmail the Korean people by force of arms in an effort to disturb their building of a thriving socialist country.

Due to the U.S. imperialists the military tension is escalating and the danger of war growing on the Korean Peninsula with each passing day, concludes the commentary.
