U.S. and S. Korea Stage Joint Naval Drill
Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet army staged a large-scale joint naval drill in the West Sea of Korea from June 23 to 25, according to MBC of south Korea.

The drill was aimed at mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK from the seas.

It involved the U.S. nuclear-powered carrier George Washington, fighters, Aegis destroyers and other modern offensive means as well as more than 8 000 troops.

The saber-ratting in the West Sea of Korea where the north and the south stand at a sharp confrontation was another provocation aimed at igniting a war against the DPRK.
