The armed forces of the Republic of Korea and the United States will practice the scenario of using nuclear weapons against the DPRK at the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise. This is stated in a commentary published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
⠀
“The upcoming large-scale Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise in August is already being called a “nuclear strike training” due to the current situation and its nature,” the material says.
⠀
KCNA warns that these maneuvers involve the deployment of “advanced military equipment, including strategic assets” and are intended to “fully implement the final stage of nuclear war plans.”
⠀
“These exercises prove that the US’s insistent claims of ‘no hostile intent’ are just a hypocritical deception,” the commentary said.
⠀
“The situation in which it is impossible to predict when and how the “nuclear strike” exercises aimed at our republic and planned at our southern border will develop into real hostilities shows that you can only trust your own overwhelming force, and not the words of the enemy.” , – the agency noted.
⠀
If the United States “together with its henchmen wants to test the will and strength” of the DPRK through provocations, then they should first think about the “catastrophic consequences,” the material says.
⠀
“Whether or not the United States has hostile intentions towards us, we will determine by actions, not statements,” KCNA concluded.
