北노동신문 "美 전쟁연습으로 한반도 정세 악화... 자위적국방력 강화조치 정당해"<br /><br />North Korea has shifted the target of its condemnations from South Korea to the U.S., blaming Washington for making the situation on the Korean Peninsula worse by pushing ahead with a joint military exercise with Seoul.<br />The North's Rodong Sinmun said today that Washington, despite its promise in Singapore to improve relations with the North, still keeps a hostile policy towards the regime.<br />It said the U.S. is continuing its "war rehearsals" and arms reinforcement, bringing in F-35A stealth fighter jets and Global Hawk surveillance drones.<br />The paper said that it's therefore legitimate for the regime to strengthen its self-defense and deploy what it called "powerful physical means."<br />
