N. Korea vows to retaliate if S. Korea, U.S. intrude 'even 0.001 mm' into its land
By Kim Hyun
SEOUL, March 4 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Wednesday accused the United States and South Korea of trying to attack the communist state and warned of further retaliations in case of any territorial intrusion.
"Our military and people cherish peace and do not want war," Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said in a commentary. "But should the enemies invade even 0.001 mm into our territory, we will mobilize all our potential and deal retaliatory strikes that will be hundred times and thousand times more powerful."
The accusation comes as the two allies plan to go ahead with their joint military exercise starting next week despite mounting inter-Korean border tensions. The U.S. plans to mobilize 26,000 troops and a nuclear-powered carrier in this year's drill to test its ability to quickly deploy forces should North Korea invade.
