Government "Kim Jong-un Reveals Explicit Attack Intent, Strongly Condemns"
North Korea Conducts 'South Korea Occupation' War Drills Under Kim Jong-un's Command
Ministry of Unification Warns "Provocation Obsession Will Face Overwhelming Response"
The government strongly condemned North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un's inspection of the all-army command training aimed at the 'occupation of South Korea' and his mention of simultaneous strikes targeting the South Korean command.
An official from the Ministry of Unification stated in a written briefing distributed to the press corps on the 31st, "We strongly condemn Chairman Kim Jong-un for blatantly revealing his military attack intentions against us under the pretext of the annual and defensive nature of the South Korea-U.S. joint exercises." He added, "The more North Korea obsesses over military threats and provocations, the more it will face the overwhelming response capabilities of the solid South Korea-U.S.-Japan alliance," and pointed out, "They should realize as soon as possible that their own security will only become more vulnerable."

It added, "Comrade Kim Jong-un visited the training command post of the Korean People's Army General Staff and grasped the progress of the all-army command training."
North Korea introduced the goal of this training as "to repel the enemy's unjust armed invasion and transition to a full-scale counterattack to occupy the entire southern half territory." It is presumed that North Korea conducted this 'all-out war simulated command post training' as a countermeasure against the South Korea-U.S. joint UFS command post exercise. This is the first report of such an all-army command training format since Kim Jong-un came to power.

Chairman Kim emphasized, "In the early stages of the operation, focus maximum attention on delivering a severe blow to the enemy's war command center and paralyzing command communication means to break their morale from the start, cause confusion in combat actions, and paralyze the enemy's will and ability to conduct war." Specifically, he ordered, "Deliver simultaneous, ultra-strong strikes on the enemy's central military command bases and (omitted) key elements."
