Pyongyang demanding South, U.S. halt drills
Jan 17,2014

North Korea has demanded South Korea and the United States halt their annual military drills due in February and March, saying they were a direct provocation to Pyongyang, in a statement that suggested a re-run of a sharp escalation in tensions last year.

In 2013, Pyongyang said it would retaliate against any hostile moves by striking at the United States, Japan and South Korea, triggering months of fiery rhetoric.

The North has regularly charged that annual drills such as Key Resolve and Ulchi-Freedom-Guardian staged by South Korea and United States are a prelude to invasion.

“We sternly warn the U.S. and the South Korean authorities to stop the dangerous military exercises which may push the situation on the peninsula and North-South ties to a catastrophe,” said the state-run news agency KCNA, quoting a body in charge of the North’s efforts to promote Korean unification.
