Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Work for
Mounting Nuclear Warheads on Ballistic Missiles
Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), guided the work for mounting nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles on March 27.
Present there were Hong Sung Mu, first vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK, and other officials of the Department of the Munitions Industry of the Party Central Committee and officials of the Nuclear Weapons Institute and the Missile General Bureau.
The DPRK Nuclear Weapons Institute reported to Kim Jong Un on recent years' work and production for bolstering up the nuclear force of the DPRK both in quality and quantity in accordance with the orientation of developing nuclear weapons and strategic policy set forth at the 8th Congress of the WPK and the 6th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the WPK.
He acquainted in detail himself with the means for applying nuclear weapons, technological specifications and features of structural operation of new tactical nuclear weapons according to the purpose of the operation and targets, interchangeability with different weapons systems, etc. He also learned about the work of putting into an IT basis the state nuclear weapon combined management system "Haekbangashoe" whose scientific accuracy, reliability and security have been strictly verified in the recent combined tactical drill simulating a nuclear counterattack.
And he examined the plan and written orders for nuclear counterattack operation.
He highly appreciated the institute for making its ceaseless efforts in the work to strengthen our nuclear force into the reliable force capable of coping with any nuclear emergency in keeping with the strategic plan and attempt of the Party Central Committee on combining and operating nuclear weapons by different means in the diversified operation spaces, and for making its great achievements.
Saying with deep emotion that we have dauntlessly taken a rigorous and long road for possessing nuclear weapons, he clarified again that the enemy our nuclear force with powerful deterrence matches are not any state and specific group but war and nuclear disaster themselves, and the line of our Party on increasing nuclear force is aimed to defend the eternal security of the state and the regional peace and stability from A to Z.
Pointing out that we should never be satisfied with the work to consolidate the thoroughgoing response posture of our nuclear force and should continuously strive to strengthen nuclear force steadily, he said that when we are flawlessly prepared to use nuclear weapons anytime and anywhere, nuclear weapons would not be used forever, and if the powerful and superior nuclear force going beyond imagination is ready for offensive posture, the enemy would fear us and not dare provoke our state sovereignty, system and people.
Noting that the institute and the field of atomic energy should expand on a far-sighted way the production of weapon-grade nuclear materials for thoroughly implementing the plan of the Party Central Committee on increasing nuclear arsenals exponentially and put spurs to continuing to produce powerful nuclear weapons, he set forth important tasks facing the institute and the field of atomic energy.
The scientists and officials of the institute, who were directly guided by Kim Jong Un once again, made a resolution of burning loyalty to always remain loyal to the important mission assigned by the Party and revolution, the country and its people, produce powerful nuclear weapons as befitting the reliable "nuclear combatants" of our Party and thus stoutly defend the sacred cause of the Juche revolution.
Underwater Strategic Weapon System Test Held
Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- The Academy of Defence Science of the DPRK conducted another test of underwater strategic weapon system from March 25 to 27.
The underwater nuclear attack drone "Haeil-1", deployed for the test in Wonsan Bay on the afternoon of March 25, reached the target point in the waters off Hwadae County of North Hamgyong Province on the morning of March 27 after cruising along an jagged and oval course simulating the distance of the 600 kilometers in the East Sea of Korea for 41 hours and 27 minutes and correctly set off the test warhead underwater.
Through the test, all tactical and technical specifications and underwater navigational and technical indices were correctly estimated and the reliability and safety of the weapon system were verified.
Army Unit in Charge of Important Operation Task in
Central Front Conducts Missile Firing Drill
Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- A missile unit in charge of an important firing task in the central front conducted a demonstration education firing drill aimed at letting its sub-units get familiar with procedures and processes for carrying out an important firing task on March 27.
The drill was guided by the Missile General Bureau and watched by the commanding officers and combatants of all sub-units under the unit.
The education company under the unit was involved in the drill, and conducted an education demonstration firing with a nuclear air explosion striking mode by two ground-to-ground tactical ballistic missiles.
In the drill for firing preparations, there was an examination of the normal operation of the procedures for authenticating the nuclear attack order and the launch approval system and a demonstration education for standard combat action process and handling of equipment for making nuclear assault to the pointed target according to the set procedures and regulations of receiving an order for nuclear attack.
The tactical ballistic missiles were loaded with warheads for trial simulating nuclear warheads.
The education company launched a virtual nuclear attack from Ryokpho District, Pyongyang City, aiming at the target islet in front of Kim Chaek City, North Hamgyong Province, and blasted the warheads 500 meters above the target.
The commander of the unit said that its mission is clear and we know well about what we should do in contingency, affirming that if we fight, we will surely annihilate the enemy.
All the officers and men of the unit made a firm pledge to uphold the military and strategic plan of the Party Central Committee with the fighting efficiency of a-match-for-a-hundred by increasing the capability of a real war in every way in the more fierce and intensive training.
On Gravity of Military Drills by U.S. and Its Stooges
Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- The following is the full text of a commentator's article "On Gravity of Military Drills by U.S. and Its Stooges" carried in RodongSinmun on Tuesday:
The situation on the Korean peninsula is reaching the limit beyond the red line every moment.
The U.S. ever-escalating war hysteria and moves to stifle the DPRK in March are inching close to an intolerable grave phase.
The DPRK has already warned that the U.S. reckless military provocations and war drills against the DPRK will drive the situation on the Korean peninsula to the critical point of outbreak of a nuclear war.
However, the U.S. and the south Korean puppet traitors are becoming ever more bellicose and frantic in their attempt to invade the DPRK.
The U.S. has shown its option with more open attempt to invade the DPRK and real action, at the stern warning of the DPRK government and the just demand of the international community for the stop to the military provocations and war drills disturbing peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
Early in this month the U.S. staged joint war drills in the sea and the air by dispatching nuclear submarine, Aegis destroyers, strategic bombers, air combat drones and other major strategic assets to south Korea one after another. From March 13 it together with the south Korean puppets staged a large-scale joint military exercises Freedom Shield simulating an all-out war against the DPRK, going beyond the plan for precision strike and "preemptive strike" at someone's nuclear and missile facilities.
It was brought to light that the large-scale combined exercises Freedom Shield, which was restored last year, was not "an annual one with defensive nature" repeated by the U.S. and the south Korean puppets.
The drill consists of "landing on Wonsan", "occupying Pyongyang" and "beheading operation" aimed at sudden strikes at the strategic bases of the DPRK in accordance with OPLAN 5015. It was the longest-ever exercises that continued day and night for 11 days not with the existing mode but with the stage for just "occupying and stabilizing".
During this period the U.S. conducted the highest-level military actions against the DPRK in the sky above major areas of the Korean peninsula by mobilizing all sorts of reconnaissance assets including the plane of the U.S. Army with "air reconnaissance electronic warfare system" and RC-135V and RC-135S of the U.S. Air Force.
Before and after "Freedom Shield", the U.S. and the south Korean puppet military warmongers staged such war drills as joint river-crossing operations, joint airdrop and mobile drill, joint war materiel supply drill and joint scientific combat drill in the air, land and sea.
Meanwhile, the south Korean confrontational maniacs independently staged innumerable drills including "a drill for special inspection of decisive posture in 2023" conducted by the operation command of the puppet Air Force from March 13 to 15, crying out for the so-called "punishment".
The U.S. and the south Korean puppets are staging Ssangyong, the largest-ever joint landing drill they had stopped for five years since 2018, from March 20 before the powder smell was removed.
The U.S. mobilized in the Ssangyong joint landing drill aimed at "occupying Pyongyang" tens of warships including the U.S. Navy's amphibious assaulting ship Makin Island which is known as a light carrier with 20 F-35B stealth fighters aboard, 70-odd fighters of various kinds, 50 amphibious assaulting armored cars and 10 000-odd troops in collusion with the south Korean puppets.
The U.S. Air Force secretary and the commander of the U.S. 7th Air Force flew into the puppet area to consult a scenario for a war against the north and the commander of the U.S. Pacific Marines controlling 70 percent of the U.S. Marines came there again and guided the Ssangyong drill.
The drill includes "convoy operation" for the movement of the landing force to the safe target area, "minesweeping operation", "advance force operation" and "decisive action".
In particular, the combined and joint forces of the U.S. and the south Korean puppet army are to occupy the target area from the seas and the sky in the drill of the "decisive action" stage.
The introduction of special warfare units of its satellite countries involved in the past Korean War and the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered Nimitz strike group in the drills proves that the U.S. option for the DPRK does not confine to the military operation but is developing into the phase of actual crime.
This task force consisting of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Nimitz, the aegis destroyers Wayne E. Meyer and Decatur, etc. of the 11th Airborne Division of the U.S. Navy staged a joint naval drill in the waters off the southern part of Jeju Island on March 27, which was planned to improve the extended deterrence executive ability through the deployment of U.S. strategic assets. Then it plans another war exercise at Pusan Port on March 28.
The U.S. and the south Korean puppets are now planning to stage the largest-ever "combined and joint firepower annihilation drill" involving the joint forces of the army, navy and air force with all the latest weapons in June.
All these military exercises of the enemy for demonstration clearly show that they are military actions for a preemptive attack which can not be looked on with folded arms any longer as they are waged after making a war of aggression against the DPRK a fait accompli.
The scales and periods of these military exercises are far larger and longer than those in the past, lots of offensive weapons are being involved and such actions are being conducted nonstop day and night in every month and week.
The deployment of the most offensive military equipment and even the nuclear carrier task force amounts to an open declaration of war against the DPRK.
The reckless acts conducted by the south Korean puppets against the backdrop of the confrontation campaign of the U.S. are ridiculous.
Shortly ago, the puppet defense minister of south Korea clamored that "the north is threatening the world peace and stability transcending the Korean peninsula through various missile provocations including ICBM," and stressed the need to "further intensify the drills in such time".
And the puppet chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of south Korea, who boarded the U.S. naval carrier Nimitz on March 27, revealed his confrontation hysteria with shallow and impudent rhetoric expressions and manners of speaking and showed "bravery", while clamoring that "the south Korea-U.S. alliance would resolutely and overwhelmingly counter any provocation and aggression by the enemy and mete out a stern punishment in case of emergency".
All the facts go to clearly prove that the frantic war drills in the puppet region are not just military drills but nuclear war drills for a preemptive strike against the DPRK from A to Z in their essence, nature, scale, content and form, pursuant to the U.S. political and military option to escalate confrontation with the DPRK and finally lead to a war.
The U.S., hell-bent on dangerous saber-rattling in the puppet region, is the very one disturbing peace and stability in Northeast Asia including the Korean peninsula and the arch criminal escalating tension.
The present acute situation is entirely attributable to the U.S. and its vassal forces trying to stifle the DPRK by force at any cost. To build up physical strength capable of deterring it is a matter of the DPRK's right to self-defence which no one can slander.
It is quite natural for the nuclear force of the DPRK to fulfill its important mission to cope with the grave situation in which the sovereignty and security of the state are threatened.
Japanese History of Aggression Stained with Mega-Scale Crime Will Never Be Concealed
Recently in its Diet and the UN arena, the Japanese authorities let loose reckless remarks that deny the facts about forced labor imposed on the Koreans. Such behavior is tantamount to plunging a dagger into the wounds of the victims who were forced into slavery and death.
On the other hand members of Liberal Democratic Party gathered together attempting to register Sado mine, which has vivid criminal records of forcing Koreans into hard labor, as a world heritage.
Prior to this, the Japanese government submitted a report to the UNSC, a report which aroused an international controversy as it negated the facts about sexual slavery crime.
Why does Japan unhesitatingly carry on denying the obvious historical truth then? Its purpose is not only to distort the history. It is to, by all means, cover up its blood-stained past crime and embellish the history of aggression.
It is the grim truth that Japan has persisted, ever since its defeat, in all sorts of trickery in order to erase its criminal records full of sins.
The Japanese authorities, impudently insisting that history can be led to misunderstanding, have now issued instructions to revise the term “aggression” as “advance”, “comfort women for the army” as “comfort women”, and “forced drafting” as “compulsory labour” in history textbooks.
History education has considerable influence on posterity’s outlook on the world. Posterity may choose right way or wrong way. However, this is determined by the outlook on history they have.
The very aim of Japan is to make new posterity a shock brigade in overseas aggression by consistently and systematically instilling militarist view on history and feeling of revanchism into posterity rather than the feeling of guilt about aggression.
It is quite natural that the international community maintains high vigilance and expresses concern about Japan’s persistent moves to distort history, politicians’ continuous visits to Yasukuni Shrine and the dangerous maneuvers to become a military power.
It should be stressed once again that the forced labor of Koreans and the forced sexual slavery for Japanese army, unprecedented in human history, are thoroughly human rights violation crimes as they were, from planning to enforcement, committed directly by the government and military authority in the name of state policy.
Japan’s history of aggression and crime stained with mega-scale crimes will never be concealed how hard they try to distort and deny it.
