Lately, Washington and South Korea held the fifth meeting of the Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group (EDSCG), where they demonstrated attempts to further strengthen the military plot against the DPRK, the Foreign Ministry statement noted.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry expressed serious concern and categorically condemned such recklessness of the hostile forces, which undermines the strategic stability of the region and skyrockets the chance of a nuclear clash.

The main reason for the current aggravation of the security environment on the Korean peninsula and in the region is the U.S., which is posing nuclear threats against sovereign States, these menaces are more open as the U.S. is intensifying military collusion with its acolytes and successively inventing the program for nuclear confrontation, the statement underscored.

The DPRK will take practical measures to strictly control the security situation on the Korean peninsula, which is becoming more heated due to the nuclear war madness of Washington and its satellites, the official communiqué concluded.
