US-South Korea drill is 'declaration of war': North
[Straits Times] North Korea on Thursday slammed a joint military exercise between the United States and South Korea as a declaration of 'all-out war'.
The 10-day exercise is an 'unpardonable heinous provocation' against the communist state, the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) said.
'This is a declaration of an all-out war against the DPRK (North Korea),' the state body said in an English-language statement carried by Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency.
Oh no, my dear Official Statement Writer. All-out war will begin with a formal statement of some sort, followed immediately by pin-point saturation bombing. You may get a telephone call suggesting you duck under your desk, after which the ceiling will fall down. It is our custom to be exceedingly unsubtle about such things. | The exercise, which began on Tuesday, involves more than 530,000 troops, including some 3,000 military personnel from the US and other bases around the Pacific region.
