The DPRK is ready to give an equivalent response to possible threats from the United States and South Korea, which, according to Pyongyang, are “openly hostile” to the republic. According to RBC with reference to the Voice of Korea radio station, this was stated by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
According to Kim Jong-un, Seoul and Washington should realize the “recklessness of large-scale military exercises” held in the Korean Peninsula. He called the maneuvers a military provocation against the DPRK.
The North Korean leader also cited a statement by the Workers’ Party of Korea, according to which Pyongyang “will respond to nuclear weapons with nuclear weapons, and open confrontation with open confrontation.” North Korea will keep the strategic forces ready for a “rapid response,” he added.
Kim Jong-un confirmed that the DPRK on March 16 carried out another, fourth in two days, missile launch, as previously reported by the Japanese military. Tests of intercontinental ballistic missile “Hwaseong-17” took place in response to military exercises of the United States and South Korea.
