North Korea blasted the United States for its joint military drill with South Korea involving its long-range strategic bombers B-1B Lancers.

The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party, said in a commentary on Sunday that the deployment of B-1B Lancers are a dangerous military gamble by warmongers to light the fuse of a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.

The paper warned that a simple misjudgment or mistake may lead to the outbreak of a nuclear war and that, in turn, is sure to lead to a new world war.

It added that the United States saying it will regularly deploy strategic bombers to the Korean Peninsula is the same as a crazy act of playing with fire on top of an ammunitions locker.

A pair of B-1B Lancers were sent from U.S. Anderson Air Base in Guam, to fly over the peninsula for precision-strike training on Saturday.
