The U.S. imperialist aggression forces in south Korea and the south Korean warmongers staged the largest-ever live-shell firing drill in the area south of the demilitarized zone on June 22, the statement said, and continued:

Live-shell firing at the flag of a sovereign state is an extremely grave provocation.

The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors is finding itself in the worst crisis, hit hard from all sides. It is now working hard to escalate confrontation and ignite a war, taking advantage of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK.

The Lee group is the top class war servant and nuclear war accomplice of the U.S. as it cries "it would not rule out a war" in collusion with its American master, utterly indifferent to the country, nation and the destiny of Koreans.

How can Koreans live under the same sky with this group of traitors getting so frantic in its moves to launch another war on this land together with its American master?

The Koreans can never escape the holocaust of another war as long as they remain passive onlookers to the moves of the U.S. imperialists and their stooges, the Lee group, to escalate confrontation with the DPRK and unleash a war.
