In a statement carried by KCNA, a spokesman for the North's National Peace Committee said Washington and Seoul "should once again understand every word" of Pyongyang's previous statement on the drills, and "act cautiously if they want to avoid a deadly historical moment."

Rejecting both countries’ claims that the exercises were purely defensive, the spokesman criticized the US military for having nuclear-armed strategic bombers on the Pacific island of Guam, and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers ready for action in waters off the Korean Peninsula. North Korea also criticized other US allies, including Britain and Australia, warning that they “will meet a tragic end if they play with fire.”

The latest announcement from KCNA was in response to the 10-day joint US-South Korea military exercise, called “Ulchi Freedom Guardian,” which began on August 21 in South Korea.
