![]() ![]() It has said its nuclear weapons and missile programmes are for self-defence. In a rare move, the Seoul military this month revealed that it and Washington special forces were staging ‘Teak Knife’ military exercises - which involve simulating precision strikes on key facilities in North Korea - ahead of Freedom Shield.Īll such exercises infuriate North Korea, which views them as rehearsals for an invasion. The US-South Korea exercises, called Freedom Shield, are scheduled to run for at least 10 days from Monday and will focus on the ‘changing security environment’ due to North Korea’s redoubled aggression, the allies said. Washington and Seoul have ramped up defence cooperation in the face of growing military and nuclear threats from the North, which has conducted ever more provocative banned weapons tests in recent months. ‘The DPRK bitterly denounces the US vicious ‘human rights’ racket as the most intensive expression of its hostile policy toward the DPRK and categorically rejects it,’ the ministry said, according to KCNA. In a separate statement, North Korea’s foreign ministry said the United States was ‘scheming’ to call a UN Security Council meeting on human rights in the reclusive communist state, to coincide with the joint maneuvers. KCNA said that the drill also ‘verified the current operation posture of the nuclear war deterrence means in different spaces.’ The KCNA report announcing Sunday’s missile launch said the test firing expressed ‘the invariable stand’ of North Korea to confront a situation in which ‘the US imperialists and the South Korean puppet forces are getting ever more undisguised in their anti-DPRK military maneuvers.’ĭPRK is the acronym for North Korea’s official name. › North Korea ‘probably’ will carry out new nuclear test: US report.› N Korea fires ballistic missile ahead of US-South Korea drills.› North Korea decides to take war deterrence measures: state media. ![]() SUNAMGANJ HAOR EMBANKMENT PROJECTS 40pc works still to be done as deadline missed.New, outlying district public univs failing to woo students.Not for anyone to walk dully along, and away.Foreigners working illegally go unchecked.Follies in following in the footstep of Hindi.Indian media report warrants no response: foreign ministry.Quota-system of job distribution needs to be reformed.Government must protect civilians in frontiers.
