“We strongly denounce … provocative army muscle-flexing towards the DPRK,” Pyongyang’s overseas ministry mentioned in an announcement carried by the state-run KCNA information company Sunday, referring to the North’s official title.
“The US-Japan-ROK relations have taken on the full-fledged look of an Asian-version NATO,” it mentioned, warning of “deadly penalties”.
“The DPRK won’t ever overlook the strikes of the US and its followers to strengthen the army bloc.”
The newest joint drills concerned Washington’s nuclear-powered plane service USS Theodore Roosevelt, Tokyo’s guided-missile destroyer JS Atago, and Seoul’s KF-16 fighter jet.
Pyongyang has all the time decried comparable mixed workouts as rehearsals for an invasion.
