Pyongyang, March 21 (KCNA) — A spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK on Thursday issued the following press statement titled "It is within the range of the option of the DPRK's armed forces to use the most deadly military means against the hostile forces seriously threatening the sovereignty and security of its state":
Recently the U.S. and the ROK military gangsters staged a special warfare drill aimed at "destroying the secret underground tunnel network" and "removing nuclear weapons" of someone as part of the large-scale war exercises Freedom Shield.

The accumulated reckless military moves of the U.S. and the ROK, seized with the daydream that they can jeopardize the sovereignty and security of a nuclear weapons state, can undoubtedly bring the gravest consequences they do not want.
The Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK strongly warns the U.S. and the ROK military to stop at once the irresponsible and dangerous military acts, issuing a warning once again about the catastrophic result to be entailed by the adventuristic saber-rattling of the hostile fo
