Not long ago, they had attempted to carry out terrorist acts to demolish statues in the DPRK, which suffered failure.

Choe Ryong, an official of the Pothonggang District, Pyongyang City, Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, told KCNA:

"The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers will be sorry for the war exercises they kicked off against the DPRK.

The DPRK servicepersons and civilians fully support the joint statement of the DPRK organizations, declaring that the DPRK is ready to wage a nationwide sacred war against the warmongers and achieve national reunification, if they dare provoke it.

They should be well aware of the fact that it is a disposition of the DPRK to return fire for fire."
