［ソウル ２２日 ロイター］ 北朝鮮は２２日、米国と韓国の合同軍事演習は「戦争行為」だと非難し、先制攻撃を検討していると表明した。朝鮮中央通信（ＫＣＮＡ）が伝えた。
ＫＣＮＡは米韓の合同演習について、「明らかに軍事的な脅威で、北朝鮮に対する脅迫であり、戦争行為だ」と指摘。「北朝鮮は自衛のために必要と考えた時点で、先制措置を取る権利を有する」と伝えた。

North Korea threatens attack due to war drills
Tue Aug 22, 2006 12:53am ET
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said it was considering a pre-emptive attack to counter a U.S.-South Korean joint military training drill that Pyongyang sees as a "war action," its official media reported on Tuesday.
In its official media, North Korea said the drills were "an undisguised military threat and blackmail against the DPRK (North Korea) and a war action".
The drills were a violation of the truce that ended the 1950-1953 Korean War, it said.
"The Korean Peoples' Army side, therefore, reserves the right to undertake a pre-emptive action for self-defense against the enemy at a crucial time it deems necessary to defend itself," the North's KCNA news agency cited an army spokesman as saying.
U.S. and South Korean troops began military drills on Monday dubbed Ulchi Focus Lens that are aimed at testing command structures and communications.
The annual exercise has been held without incident since they began in 1975 and the North usually brands them as a prelude to invasion and nuclear war.
But the drills this year are being held with tensions high on the peninsula after North Korea test-fired a barrage of missiles on July 5 and reports last week it may preparing to test a nuclear weapon.
U.S. television network ABC news reported that a U.S. intelligence agency had observed suspicious vehicle movements at a suspected North Korean test site. It quoted an unidentified senior State Department official as saying a test was a real possibility.
Other intelligence experts say there is no sign of an imminent test.
