The Korean Central News Agency released a commentary under the title "Regional Security Environment Is Getting Severe Due to Japanese Militarism".
The commentary reads:
Japan's moves for reviving militarism, aimed at rearmament, are leading to full-scale deployment of preemptive attack means for action.
Shortly ago, the Ministry of Defence of Japan made public that type 12 surface-to-ship guided missiles with drastically increased firing range would be deployed for action in Kumamoto City for the first time.
Not content with this, Japan is planning to deploy surface-to-surface missiles for "defending islands" in Shizuoka Prefecture within this month and long-range missiles at the bases of the "Self-Defense Forces" in Hokkaido and Miyazaki prefectures in order from 2028.
If this plan comes true, Japan will have long-range missiles targeting the neighboring countries deployed in all parts of the archipelago.
Openly saying that the development and deployment of long-range missiles constitute the "core of the capability of attacking enemy bases", Japan is concentrating huge human and material resources on them.
It is a part of the efforts for winding up its war preparations for launching reinvasion.
It is needless to say that the targets of the long-range strike means are the neighboring countries including the DPRK, which Japan designated as "imminent threat" and "unprecedentedly biggest strategic challenge".
If Japan continues to behave in a foolish manner in despite of the strong concern and criticism of the world people, it will get involved in the bad thing of crossing the "red line," which surely incurs the "sinking" of the archipelago, the commentary stressed.
