SEOUL, March 16 (Yonhap) — North Korea’s state media warned Sunday any U.S. military reinforcements in the event of a war will be “wiped out,” as it took issue with Washington’s additional deployment of stealth fighter jets to Japan earlier this month.
A commentary carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency criticized the recent U.S. deployment of a squadron of F-35B fighters to an air base in Iwakuni, Japan, accusing Washington of increasing uncertainties for a nuclear war.

DPRK stands for the North’s official name — the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
“The U.S. anti-communist outposts … are within the constant sighting and striking range of the DPRK’s indefinite forces,” it said. “Any war reinforcements of the U.S. will be completely contained and wiped out.”
