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. KCNA Shawgi Tell Graduate School of Education University at Buffalo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
