North Korea Condemns US and South Korea Joint Military Drills as Nuclear War Simulation

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Kim Jong-sik, a senior official and deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, asserted that the Iron Mace command and staff exercises carried out jointly by Washington and Seoul were designed to practice the deployment of nuclear weaponry against North Korea.

In an official statement condemning the maneuvers, the high-ranking ruling party official emphasized that the offensive codename and nature of the military exercises serve as undeniable proof of the United States’ persistent efforts to annihilate North Korea through nuclear capabilities, noting that the severity of these threats continues to escalate.

Furthermore, the North Korean official highlighted that the organization of such military exercises reflects the ongoing hostility embedded in Washington’s long-standing policy toward Pyongyang.
