North Korea newspaper blasts 'double-dealing' U.S. after Pompeo's trip canceled
North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun newspaper said U.S. special units based in Japan were staging an air drill aimed at “the infiltration into Pyongyang”, citing a South Korean media outlet.
“Such acts prove that the U.S. is hatching a criminal plot to unleash a war against the DPRK and commit a crime which deserves merciless divine punishment in case the U.S. fails in the scenario of the DPRK’s unjust and brigandish denuclearisation first,” the paper said.

This is interesting. This article probably refers to the South Korean Channel A Top Ten News broadcast on or about August 14, 2018. I took some screen shots of the graphics but didn't write about it. North Korea apparently got the message but decided not to write about it, till now.
Complaints about "gunboat diplomacy" are not all that inflammatory coming as it does from North Korea. Perhaps one could question why Channel A published the story, which I saw on youtube on August 14. The program seemed exaggerated in more than one dimension and it was unduly provocative, perhaps constructed or embellished by whoever provided the information to the producers. Nevertheless, KCNA published their reaction today in Ro Dong Sin Moon in a somewhat typical fashion. Had Pompeo's diplomatic mission to Pyongyang not been cancelled, the North Korean reaction to the exercises probably would have stayed in the file drawer.
Here are some graphics from the Channel A Top Ten Program:
This is from another recent Channel A Top Ten program with a similar impact on North Korea:
