The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has condemned the US-ROK (Republic of Korea) joint military exercises on Tuesday, saying that the US will be the blame for and and all the consequences, according to its state media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The US and the ROK kicked off their annual military exercises, called Ulji Freedom Guardian, on Monday amid already-heightened tension on the Korean peninsula.

The DPRK called the exercises preparations for "invasion", although the two countries said it is a defensive drill conducted annually.
