KCNA commentary on Japan's moves for reinvasion

The Korean Central News Agency released a commentary under the title "War Criminal State Japan Is Advancing into a Line of Fire Again".

The commentary said Japan, a war criminal state, is stepping up the battle formation to launch a war for reinvasion, and continued.

On March 24, it officially inaugurated an "integrated operation command" comprehensively commanding the Ground, Maritime and Air "Self-Defense Forces" for the practical use of long-range missiles.

The reality proves that the Japanese militarists' overseas aggression is no longer imagination or speculation but a fait accompli, and it is as clear as noonday that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will be the first target of their attack.

Japan, a defeated nation gnashing its teeth with revenge, has concentrated all efforts on the scheme to turn itself into a war state capable of invading other countries again anytime over the past 80 years.

Such preparations are now accelerated at the final stage.

This year alone, Japan is going to purchase a large quantity of various kinds of strike means, including intermediate-range air-to-air missile and air-to-ground long-range cruise missile from the United States, while getting more frantic than ever before to further increase the range of missiles it has already developed and possessed.

Japan's moves for getting familiar with war of aggression are going beyond precedent.

In March, Japan also conducted saber-rattling with riff-raffs in the waters around it. Not content with this, it took part in the US-Japan-ROK naval drill recently conducted in the waters near Jeju Island, openly flying the "flag of rising sun shedding rays".

It is clear what it means to step up the deployment of long-range strike means for action and establish a command system for their use in an actual war, under such environment in which Japan is pushing the situation to the extreme.

Japan has accelerated its institutional and military preparations for aggression on the continent at the final stage and created an international climate for them. It is now advancing into a line of fire to invade the continent.

It is a matter of time for Japan to fire the first gun for reinvasion.

The Japanese militarists, the sworn enemy of the Korean people, should be clearly mindful that the line of fire Japan is daring to approach will be turned into its bottomless grave.
