PYONGYANG, April 9 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has finger-pointed U.S. President Donald Trump for aggression against Syria after the U.S. president ordered missile attacks upon a military airfield in Homs on Friday.
This is the first time for the DPRK to name Trump directly in its frequent condemnation of the United States.
"The Trump administration on April 7 mounted a massive missile attack on an air force base of the Syrian government army under the pretext that it killed civilians by using chemical weapons," said the DPRK Foreign Ministry in a statement issued late Saturday.
A spokesman of the DPRK Foreign Ministry called the U.S. attack "absolutely unpardonable" and "an undisguised act of aggression against a sovereign state."
"The world clearly witnessed through the recent U.S. military attack on Syria who is disturbing peace," the spokesman noted.
"The successive U.S. administrations have perpetrated strikes at those countries which do not have nukes only, styling themselves a superpower and the same is true of the Trump administration," it said.
