North Korea denounced the United States' forward deployment of additional nuclear bombers to Guam on Wednesday, threatening that American military bases in the Pacific region will face ruin in the event of reckless acts.
"The introduction of the nuclear strategic bombers to Guam by the U.S proves that the U.S. plan for a preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK has entered a reckless phase of implementation," the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) cited a statement issued by the foreign ministry.
Earlier this month, the U.S. moved B-1B and B-2 nuclear bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to Guam as tension is running high on the Korean Peninsula.
"Such military moves by the US are part of its sinister strategy to contain Russia and China in the Asia-Pacific and maintain its military hegemony in the region, not just aiming at a surprise preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK," the statement said, calling the country by the abbreviation of its official name, Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
