"The situation on the Korean Peninsula is inching close to a thermonuclear war" due to the hostile actions of the United States and South Korea and their moves for a war against the DPRK, the spokesman said.
The current situation"is seriously affecting peace and security not only on the peninsula but in the rest of the Asia-Pacific," the spokesman said
The DPRK"does not want to see foreigners in South Korea fall victim to the war," he said.
According to the spokesman, the United States and South Korea are watching for a chance to start a war against the DPRK as they have introduced weapons of mass destruction into South Korea.
