The Ministry of Defense of North Korea has warned this Saturday of the risk that the constant “provocations of the United States” in the region will lead to armed conflict “at any moment” and has argued that this situation justifies the taking of self-defense measures to protect yourself.
“We strongly warn the United States and its hostile followers towards the DPRK (North Korea) to immediately stop hostile acts that generate further provocation and instability and that may bring the military confrontation in and around the Korean Peninsula to a real armed conflict“says a statement collected by the official KCNA agency.
From Defense they have indicated that the American “military adventurism” has “crossed the red line on a global scale” and have insisted that “the “military provocations” by Washington “They constitute the source of plunging the regional situation into an irreparable catastrophe.”
Thus, the North Korean Government has pointed out as a “constitutional duty” that its Armed Forces take “self-defense measures to protect the security environment of the State and maintain strategic stability and the balance of forces in the region”, where there are “two warring sides that are on high alert” and “the possibility of continued military conflict persists.”
“The KPA (Army) is closely monitoring the military movements of the US and its allies, opening the possibility of all options in your combat readiness. If it is deemed necessary, it will take immediate measures to contain the danger and achieve the military and strategic objective of the State,” concludes the note issued by the North Korean authorities.
These statements come after the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, accused the United States this Friday of bringing pressure against North Korea. “to the extreme” and continue with their “provocation” acts against the country, which could lead the parties to a “destructive nuclear war.”
At the beginning of this week, Kim called on his Army to concentrate “every effort” to finalize “preparations for war” given the rise in tensions on the Korean peninsula, while once again defending the need to strengthen Pyongyang’s nuclear capabilities “without limits.”
Tensions have been rising on the Korean Peninsula over the past few months.marked by North Korea sending hundreds of garbage balloons across the border. Seoul also resumed broadcasts of propaganda through loudspeakers on the border for the first time in six years, as well as its live-fire maneuvers near the demarcation line, activities to which are added the joint military maneuvers with the United States.
North Korean authorities have also been increasing their ballistic missile launches and other projectiles during recent years, operations that they describe as “warnings” against the actions of Seoul, with whom it has not yet signed a peace agreement despite the fact that the Korean War (1950-1953) ended with an armistice, so both countries are still technically at war
