PYONGYANG, March 28 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Tuesday accused the United States of trying to form an Asian version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) through a U.S.-Japan-South Korea military alliance.
The official daily Rodong Sinmun (Labor News) said in an article that the U.S.-Japan-South Korea triangular military alliance has "reached the phase of full-scale activation."
"The U.S. aggressor forces, the 'Self-Defense Forces' of Japan and the South Korean puppet army recently conducted a large-scale drill for intercepting missiles from the DPRK," it said.
"The U.S. is claiming that the drill and the naval joint drill with Japan are independent of Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military drills. But this is no more than a lame excuse," said the article.
