On this day, the Korean Central News Agency said in an article by the Military Commentary, “The landing of the U.S. nuclear strategic bomber in the puppet area, as well as the recent or ongoing anti-DPRK military movements by the U.S. and puppet military thugs, have increased the military tension in the Korean Peninsula region. “It is an extremely provocative and reckless act of hostility that unilaterally escalates,” he claimed.

In addition, he falsely claimed that the Minuteman-3 launch failed, saying, “As part of the United States’ demonstration of its so-called ‘extended deterrence commitment,’ it conducted another intercontinental ballistic missile test launch with the participation of puppet military gangsters for the first time in seven years, thereby reducing the target of U.S. nuclear power.” “It clearly showed who it was,” he claimed.

He continued, “Regardless of whether the United States targets us with strategic nuclear weapons or brings in tactical nuclear weapons, our military response stance of nuclear weapons against nuclear weapons is absolutely unchanging,” adding, “The anti-DPRK nuclear threat from the United States and its followers poses a new threat.” He emphasized, “Continuing to expand and strengthen self-defense nuclear forces today, which is approaching the mooring line, is an exercise of the right to self-defense to protect the safety of our nation from threats from hostile forces.”

Our military officials observed the Minuteman-3 test launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, USA, on the 31st of last month (local time). It has been 7 years and 9 months since February 2016 that the Korean military directly observed the Minuteman-3 test launch, but this is the second time in history. This visit was made at the suggestion of the U.S. side.

Minuteman-3 is considered one of the three major nuclear forces of the United States, along with strategic nuclear submarines (SSBNs) equipped with submarine-launched ballistic missiles and strategic bombers. If fired from the U.S. mainland, it can reach Pyongyang in 30 minutes.
