PYONGYANG, March 8 (Xinhua) -- All the army and peoples in Democratic People’s Republic of Korea should get ready for warfare to answer the U.S.-South Korean joint military exercise, said the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army on Monday.

"The men and officers of the KPA on the frontline and coastline and those standing on air guard should reliably defend the outposts of the country so as to repel at a single stroke any attempt of the aggressors to make a preemptive strike", said the command in a report carried by the official KCNA news agency.

"The units of the three services of the KPA should keep themselves fully ready to go into action in order to blow up the citadel of aggressors once the order is issued", said the report.
