Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a bylined article.

The U.S. is pushing ahead with it under the pretext of the "threat" from the DPRK, the article notes, and goes:

The aim sought by the U.S. is to increase military threat to the DPRK and stifle it by keeping its strategic deterrence at bay with missiles at any time.

It also seeks to make the "threat" from the DPRK an established fact and thus justify the establishment of a missile shield for world domination.

The U.S. is building the MD system with an eye to compress big powers in Asia-Pacific from the east and the west.

Such moves are sparking a fresh arms race worldwide and its stepped-up weaponization of outer space is gravely threatening the existence of humankind.

The situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula urgently requires the DPRK to increase its self-defence capability in every way.

The DPRK does not hide that its development of missiles is to achieve a final victory in the over-all confrontation with the U.S.

With no rhetoric can the U.S. warmongers justify their acts of gravely threatening the DPRK by force of arms and shifting the blame for it on to the DPRK, a victim.

The U.S. had better stop such a foolish attempt at attaining its strategic goal under the pretext of "missile threat" from the DPRK.
