Key Resolve and Foal Eagle Assailed
Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) -- With neither rhetoric nor jugglery can the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces cover up the aggressive and provocative nature of joint military exercises Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined article.

Foal Eagle started by them on Friday is a preliminary war and test nuclear war aimed at mounting a preemptive nuclear strike on the DPRK, the article notes, and goes on:

This sabre-rattling is now taking place in the air, ground and sea of south Korea. The program includes the largest-ever north-targeted war maneuvers of various forms such as at least 20 joint mobile drills and nuclear attack drills.

The warmongers are stepping up the building of a missile shield, frequently crying out for "preemptive strike" at the DPRK. Their scenario is to stage Key Resolve and Foal Eagle under the simulated conditions of an actual war for mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK.

It is needless to say that Key Resolve and Foal Eagle are not defensive in their scale and contents, but very dangerous war manoeuvres for aggression aimed to round off scenario for mounting a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK and maximize the capability for carrying it out.

This madcap sabre-rattling is creating a very dangerous situation on the Korean Peninsula. But the aggressors are seriously mistaken.

The DPRK will never show any mercy to the aggressors encroaching upon its dignity and sovereignty even a bit. It is the iron faith and will of the powerful revolutionary Paektusan army to deal deadly retaliatory blows at the provocateurs with arms of justice and blow up the strongholds of aggression if they perpetrate a provocation.
