Rodong Sinmun Terms Hoguk War Exercise Grave Challenge to Peace
Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- The large-scale madcap Hoguk war exercise being staged across south Korea from Oct. 25 is unprecedented in the history of war maneuvers in its scale, duration, nature and purpose for aggression, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a bylined article.

The north-targeted joint military exercise is a grave threat to the DPRK and an unpardonable act of disturbing peace, the article notes, and goes on:

The warmongers at home and abroad are describing the joint military exercise as a "defensive drill" but it is a sheer lie.

The joint military exercise has assumed more offensive nature than ever before due to the moves of the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors. It is well known that from the outset of its office the Lee group changed its strategy for invading the north into "a proactive deterrent" from "deterrent", i.e., preemptive attack on the north. Under the rule of the group the operation scenarios for invading the north have been revised into more adventurous ones. COPLAN 5029 allegedly aimed to cope with "contingency" in the north was formally dubbed OPLAN 5029.

The extreme tension and the danger of war prevailing on the Korean Peninsula are natural products of the reckless military confrontation rackets of the U.S. obsessed by the ambition for invading the DPRK and the south Korean belligerent forces, its lackeys. The U.S. and the Lee group are the provocateurs and wreckers of peace and their ceaseless war maneuvers are the most dangerous provocation wrecking peace.

The U.S.-south Korea joint military exercise should be unconditionally stopped as it threatens the peace of the country and increases the danger of war.
