Chief of KPA Panmunjom Mission Sends Telephone Message to U.S. Forces Commander in S. Korea

 Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are escalating dangerous military pressure on the DPRK, having confabs for slapping brigandish new "sanctions" against it over its satellite launch, its legitimate and independent right, and underground nuclear test for self-defence to protect it.
    They are mulling kicking off Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises targeted against the DPRK again on March 1 in a bid to bring dark clouds of a war of aggression to hang over Korea despite the strong protest and denunciation at home and abroad. They are employing such sleight of hand as "notifying" the DPRK side of this "in advance".
    A touch-and-go situation is prevailing on the Korean Peninsula due to the hostile acts and military racket of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and their followers against the DPRK.
    Pak Rim Su, chief of the Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army, sent the following message to James D. Sherman, commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea, in this regard at 9 a.m. Saturday:
    As you know, a grave situation where a war may break out any moment prevails in Korea due to the brigandish moves of the U.S. and its allied forces to isolate and stifle the DPRK, taking issue with its just satellite launch and underground nuclear test for protecting its sovereignty.
    If your side ignites a war of aggression by staging the reckless joint military exercises Key Resolve and Foal Eagle again under the cover of "defensive and annual ones" at this dangerous time, from that moment your fate will be hung by a thread with every hour.

    You had better bear in mind that those igniting a war are destined to meet a miserable destruction while a great victory is in store for the guardians of justice. -0-
