1st LD: DPRK warns to use strategic weapons against U.S.-S.Korean forces

Xinhua, February 23, 2016 Adjust font size:

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Tuesday that its strategic and tactic weapons are ready to be used for preemptive strikes on South Korea and the United States even if any "small movements" were found in U.S.-S.Korean special forces, the official KCNA news agency said Tuesday.

The first target of the attacks would be Chongwadae, South Korea's presidential office, and South Korean authorities, said the KCNA, citing a statement issued by the supreme command of the Korean People's Army (KPA).

If the U.S.-S.Korean armed forces continued to make military provocations despite warnings from the DPRK, the KPA would enter the phase of the second round of attacks, which would target the U.S. bases of aggression forces in the Asia-Pacific and even the U.S. territories, the statement warned. Endi
