North Korea on Friday accused South Korea and the United States of deepening their alliance against its regime even under Seoul's acting leadership, warning it cannot sit idly by amid their "recklessness."
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) cited the South Korean Navy's recent adoption of MH-60R Seahawk helicopters and the launch earlier this month of the Navy Task Fleet Command, as it denounced the South's military in a commentary of escalating confrontational plots against Pyongyang.
"Even as the incumbent president became an accused and political chaos ensued due to the subsequent dogfight to seize the power and cling to the remaining authority, the puppet military is adamantly sticking to confrontational plots targeting us," the KCNA said.
The news outlet claimed the US has apparently been behind such moves, describing South Korea as a servant of a declining family, forced to submit to its master, the US, which demands its role as "storm troops" for Washington's hegemonic ambitions.
North Korea urged the US to "face up" to its counterpart and the shifting world in order to stop its self-immolation.
The KCNA also warned that such behavior demonstrates that "our firm position to thoroughly subdue and crush (the enemy) with powerful military forces has been justifiable." (Yonhap)
