PYONGYANG, June 6 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Tuesday the United States is using talk of diplomatic settlement of Pyongyang's nuclear issue as smoke-screen tactics to disguise its plan for military attack.

"Now the United States is additionally dispatching the Nimitz nuclear carrier taskforce together with Carl Vinson and Ronald Reagan to the waters off the Korean peninsula and thus seeking to deploy three nuclear carrier taskforces in the waters (off the Korean peninsula)," said the official daily newspaper Minju Joson (Democratic Korea).

The paper quoted unnamed "military experts" as saying that "all signs show the U.S. military attack on the DPRK is at hand."

"And they (the experts) analyzed that the U.S. talk about the diplomatic settlement of the Korean issue is little short of the smoke-screen tactics for launching military strike at the DPRK," it said.
