Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a commentary terms this a criminal scenario for unification aimed to do harm to the DPRK by force.

The puppet forces mapped out the strategy and made it public, a blatant challenge to the ideology and the dignified social system in the DPRK and a clear proof of their deep-seated ambition for the invasion of the north, the commentary notes, and goes on:

There is nothing new in the puppet forces' "five-phase military strategy" as they just put together such north-targeted war scenarios as OPLAN 5027 and OPLAN 5029 according to phases under the signboard of "unification".

The recent revelation about the strategy by the puppet military warmongers is related to their worst ruling crisis. By making public the war scenario aimed at the unification of social systems, the puppet military coteries seek to distract the public attention and bring the confusion caused by the ferry Sewol disaster under control.

The group of colonial mercenaries serving the U.S. dared challenge the DPRK while making much ado about the "five-phase military strategy" and the "fourth generation war". This is a ridiculous act reminding one of a puppy unafraid of a tiger.

Minju Joson in a commentary says the Park Geun Hye group, driven into a tight corner, made public the adventurous "five-phase military strategy" and is deliberately straining the situation in a bid to ignite a war against the DPRK. It warns that this will only accelerate its own self-destruction.
