North Korea has called for solidarity upon marking the 53rd anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the Korean War.

The official daily of the North's Workers' Party, the Rodong Shinmun, claimed Thursday that signs of a new war are emerging on the Korean Peninsula.

The paper argued that a recent port call made by an American aircraft carrier USS Enterprise in the southern port city of Busan clearly proves that Washington is planning to invade the North.

In an editorial, the paper called on the North Korean public to be fully prepared in the event a war breaks out.

The two Koreas signed the inter-Korean truce in 1953, ending the Korean War. The two Koreas have remained technically in a state of war in the absence of a formal peace treaty.
