North Korea has expressed strong disapproval of the ongoing joint military drills between South Korea and the United States, as well as a separate exercise involving the U.S. and Japan. In a commentary published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea warned that a "tit-for-tat principle based on strong power" would be employed in response to these military exercises.
The North Korean statement emphasized that hostile forces are escalating their military actions to threaten the security of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and undermine regional strategic stability. This commentary came just as South Korea initiated the annual Hoguk field exercise with U.S. forces, and Japan began large-scale military drills dubbed Keen Sword on the same day.
Pyongyang strongly criticized Seoul for not concealing the aggressive nature of these joint exercises.
