Pyongyang, August 21 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today comments on the
adventurous joint military manoeuvres codenamed "Ulji Focus Lens" which
started in south Korea early on August 18. The daily says the U.S.-south
Korea manoeuvres are increasing tension and the danger of a war
against the north in the Korean Peninsula. It says: The manoeuvres include
the "Ulji" drill involving the south Korean puppet army, "Administration"
and civilians and the "Focus Lens" exercise of U.S. Forces and south
Korean puppet army. Participating in the manoeuvres are a large number of
south korean troops and "civilian defence corps" members as well as U.S.
troops present in south Korea and from the U.S. mainland. The war gamble,
as large as the "Team Spirit" exercises in scale, content and danger,
proves that what exists in the Korean Peninsula is just threat from
the south, not threat from the north. We will never allow others to
infringe upon our sovereignty and undermine our socialism but deal a heavy
blow at the provokers. The U.S. and south Korean war maniacs must stop the
military exercises at once.
