MADRID, 19 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The North Korean government has criticized this Friday the joint military exercises of the United States and North Korea, arguing that the maneuvers of these countries in the region are blackmail towards Pyongyang.
“The bombers loaded with long-range air-to-surface missiles received unprecedented media coverage to intensify the nuclear threat and blackmail against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK),” reads a statement collected by the KCNA agency.
The North Korean authorities have denounced the increasingly frequent maneuvers by allied countries in the region, noting that “US imperialists and South Korean puppet warmongers continue to conduct war exercises against the DPRK under different code names that seriously disturb the peace and security of the Korean peninsula”.
“The war exercises carried out simultaneously in the sky and the seas from April 17 to 28 with the participation of large strategic assets were the largest ever carried out in the first half of this year, which further aggravated the situation in the Peninsula. of Korea and the region”, continues the letter after listing a series of drills prior to this date.
“By deploying all sorts of air strike assets large enough to fight a war, the US imperialists and South Korean puppet forces staged a so-called ‘combined joint training drill,'” they added, arguing that President South Korean Yoon Suk Yeol and his cabinet “are bluffing under the war scenario concocted” by Washington.
Pyongyang has also assured that it is “closely observing each military movement of hostile forces that completely destroy and endanger the security environment.” At the same time, they have pointed out that “it is a legitimate right of a sovereign country to equip itself with more powerful self-defense means to deal with the prevailing dire situation and possible threats.”
