The commentary said that the tension on the Korean Peninsula is steadily escalating due to the provocative joint military exercises of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities.

It went on:

The U.S. and the West are getting frantic in the smear campaign against the DPRK, while posing the threat of a nuclear war to it.

The bigger concession the DPRK makes, the more desperately the imperialists and colonialists seek it. Pyongyang is taking toughest measures against them one after another on the principle that it is necessary to cut off their limbs.

Just is the struggle of the DPRK to frustrate the offensive of the imperialists and protect the sovereignty and independence of the country.
