North Korea on Sunday warned the United States to stop
provocation against it, vowing to repel any invasion by
Washington.
"The US remains unchanged even in the new century in its Korea
strategy to invade the whole of Korea and establish its supremacy
over Northeast Asia," the Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in an
editorial on the Korean War anniversary day.
The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950.
"The US has persistently sought to perpetuate the division of
Korea and provoke another war of aggression against the North Korea
for such a long period by increasing its military presence in south
Korea," said the editorial, which was carried by the Korean Central
News Agency.
It also said that if the United States ignited a war again, the
army and people of North Korea would mercilessly wipe out the
aggressors and victoriously conclude its stand-off with the United
States.
Meanwhile, the paper accused the United States of launching "a
war of aggression and a war of massacre of civilians" 56 years ago
as the North American country "committed indiscriminate killings
and destruction unprecedented in the world history of war."
On Sunday, more than 100,000 people took part in an anti-US
rally in Pyongyang, shouting slogans such as "We vehemently
denounce the US monstrous crimes against the Korean nation!" and
"The US imperialist aggressors quit South Korea at once."
