Pyongyang, March 18 (KCNA) — Ma Tong Hui, ambassador of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to Egypt and concurrently to Yemen, gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on Tuesday over the U.S. recent military attack on Yemen that caused many casualties among peaceful inhabitants:
Recently the U.S. launched a large-scale military attack on Yemen under the pretext of protecting international trade from so-called terrorism.
A hundred and tens of innocent peaceful inhabitants including children and women were killed or wounded and huge property damage caused due to the indiscriminate military attack committed by vast forces of the U.S. Air Force and Navy, including a nuclear aircraft carrier.
This military attack by the U.S. is a wanton violation of all international laws including the UN Charter and it is an open encroachment upon the sovereignty of other nation that can never be justified.
I express serious concern over and strongly condemn and reject the illegal military moves of the U.S. which is resorting to its exclusive and unilateral geopolitical ambition while gravely violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries through the violence of injustice in disregard of international law.
At present the situation in the Middle East has plunged into an uncontrollable evil cycle and the prospect of political settlement of disputes in the region has become gloomier. This is attributable to the high-handed and arbitrary practices and unreasonable interference by the outside forces seeking only hegemonic interests.
The international community will have to express serious concern and protest against the U.S. hooliganism seriously disturbing regional peace and stability, and the U.S. should stop at once such indiscriminate use of force that will invite its own international isolation. -0-
