PYONGYANG, March 26 (Xinhua) -- The military of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) warned on Sunday the United States and South Korea against any attempt to stage a "special operation" to hit its leadership and military installations, including the nuclear arms base.
The Korean People's Army said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency that it is ready to "mercilessly smash the enemy's moves with its own style of special operation and preemptive attack, now that the sinister aim of the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean War maniacs' 'special operation' to hurt the dignity of the DPRK's supreme leadership has become clear, and they disclosed even the dangerous attempt at 'preemptive attack.'"
It accused the United States and South Korea of being "busy staging madcap joint military drills for aggression involving more than 300,000 troops, U.S. nuclear carrier Carl Vinson and B-1B and other nuclear strategic assets."
