Pyongyang, May 31, 2024 (KCNA) — The regime of gangsters and the Puppet Army of the ROK – infringed upon the sovereignty of the DPRK through an intolerably hideous act of provocation. This involved a clumsy show of dangerous military power – which exceeded its legitimate right for sovereign action. In this regard, the (extensive) Multiple Rocket Launcher (Sub-Units) of the DPRK conducted a powerful counter-demonstration firing – aimed at the ROK in order to clearly show the DPRK’s corresponding will to ensure the sovereignty and security of the State. The DPRK will respond everytime with a massive and powerful force that will overwhelm. This is the DPRK way of pursuing a self-defence war – which involves even a pre-emptive attack at any time if the enemies attempt to use military force against the DPRK.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un directly gave an order to organize the powerful demonstration of mass-firing – and oversaw its operation on the spot.
Repeatedly stressing that it is the duty and mission of the Armed Forces of the DPRK -approved by its Constitution – to mobilize the military retaliatory forces for safeguarding the sovereignty of the State. This reaction ensures territorial integrity. Kim Jong Un declared that today’s powerful demonstration of firing, which is to be held under the situation in which the enemy is desperately conducting political and military manoeuvres to plunder the DPRK of its sovereignty, will be an occasion for clearly showing what consequences our rivals will face if they provoke us.
The powerful salvo of a fireing Sub-Unit was carried out by operating the integrated Fire-Control System, a part of the National Combined Nuclear Weapons Management System.
The drill was attended by the 3rd Battalion of the 331st Red Flag Artillery Regiment under the Artillery Combined Unit of the Korean People’s Army in charge of the important firing-attack task in the western border area.
A Secret Code Order of the Central Military Commission of the Workers’ Party of Korea – on the firepower mission – was given to the Fire Attack Companies of the Battalion – whilst the salvo of the Battalion was carried out based on the Integrated Fire-Control System.
When Kim Jong Un gave an order to fire at the Observation Post, General Jang Chang Ha, Director General of the Missile Administration of the DPRK, commanded the Fire Attack.
Just then, a loud explosive sound soaring across the heaven and earth broke-out, and showers of fire for annihilation – boasting marvellous strength – clearly demonstrated the DPRK’s will to defend its sovereignty and react against the enemy.
A-match-for-a-hundred artillerymen, fully charged with firm hostility toward the enemy and clear outlook on the arch enemy, accurately hit an island target 365 km away and successfully carried out their power demonstration firing task.
Kim Jong Un highly appreciated that the world’s most powerful war attack means of Korean style, which boast formidable power, whilst maintaining a prompt and thoroughgoing counterattack posture – remaining fully prepared.
He stressed that the Nuclear Forces of the DPRK should be more thoroughly prepared to promptly and correctly perform the important mission of deterring a war and taking the initiative in the war at any time and in any emergency.
The means of war and pre-emptive attack forces of the DPRK’s Armed Forces will maintain their war posture with their more enhanced capacity and fulfil their important mission of deterring a war and defending sovereignty. (End)
