PYONGYANG, Jul 1 (NNN-KCNA) – The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), yesterday, condemned the first-ever multi-domain military exercises, involving the United States, Japan and South Korea, vowing to take countermeasures to safeguard its Sovereignty and security.
In a press statement issued by the external policy office of its foreign ministry, yesterday, the DPRK lashed out at the trilateral“Freedom Edge” multi-domain military drills, held from Thursday to Saturday, calling them“a product of the organisation, systematisation and actualisation of the U.S.-Japan-ROK tripartite military bloc,” and expressed its“strong denunciation” of the“repeated reckless and provocative” military moves by the three countries.
The regular tripartite joint military exercises clearly showed that“the U.S. strategy for world domination, to encircle and contain independent and sovereign states and secure its military hegemony, has already crossed the red-line and is bringing about a very negative change in the world security environment and geopolitical structure.”
The DPRK will“firmly defend the sovereignty, security and interests of the state and peace in the region, through offensive and overwhelming countermeasures.”
The U.S., Japan, and South Korea, on Thursday, commenced a three-day inaugural multi-domain exercise, in waters off southern South Korea, focusing on ballistic missile defence, air defence, anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, maritime interdiction, defensive cyber training, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said, in a statement.– NNN-KCNA
