North Korea has condemned Japan’s reported plans to deploy long-range missile units capable of striking the DPRK, calling the move a “dangerous provocation” despite Tokyo’s insistence that it is still evaluating deployment options.
In a statement published Thursday by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the Policy Section Chief of the Institute for Japan Studies at North Korea’s Foreign Ministry condemned Japan’s “reckless” pursuit of preemptive strike capabilities, claiming Tokyo is “seeking a chance for reinvasion.”
