North Korea says South Korea-US exercises open, dangerous provocations – KCNA

North Korea’s military said on Monday that a recent South Korea-US military exercise was an “open provocation and dangerous warfare exercise”, and it had responded with measures to attack their airfields and warplanes, state media KCNA said.

Last week, North Korea tested a number of missiles, including a potentially failed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and hundreds of artillery shells at sea, as South Korea and the United States held a six-day air exercise until Saturday.

The “Vigilant Storm” exercise was “an open provocation intended to deliberately escalate tensions” and “a dangerous combat exercise of a very high offensive nature” toward North Korea, its Korean People’s Army General Staff said in a statement. KCNA news agency.
