| SEOUL, Feb. 27 -- North Korea stepped up its rhetoric Monday as South Korea and the United States kicked off joint military drills that Pyongyang claims are rehearsals for a northward invasion. "The war drills are an unpardonable infringement upon the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK as they evidently target the DPRK which is in the mourning period," the North's official Korean Central News Agency said in an English-language dispatch, referring to the North by the initials of its official name. The latest warning came as South Korea and the U.S. staged the Key Resolve exercise that will last through March 9, with about 200,000 South Korean and 2,100 U.S. troops participating. Separately, the two allies plan to hold the Foal Eagle joint military exercise from March 1 to April 30. The North, which has a track record of military provocations against South Korea, routinely condemns the military drills in the South as precursors for an invasion. "The army and people of the DPRK are fully ready to fight a war with them," the dispatch said. "The warmongers will meet destruction in the fire kindled by them if they go reckless misjudging the strong will of the Koreans to defend peace." Seoul and Washington say the exercises are defensive in nature. |
