Rodong Sinmun Monday says in a commentary in this regard:

This is nothing but cunning sophism to divert elsewhere international attention and caution focused on Japan, which is getting further militarized and lurching to the Right, and realize its ambition for reinvasion at any cost.

The Japanese government is playing a petty trick to draw to the DPRK the world's caution and concern riveted on it.

The Japanese reactionary ruling forces' criminal moves to turn Japan into a major military power and launch reinvasion with such amateur ploy would get them nowhere.

As proved by the facts, Japan is a true factor of instability as it is making desperate efforts to hide its past crimes and realize its old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

Japan is sadly mistaken if it thinks it can evade its responsibility for its past crimes by overriding its neighboring countries and reinvading them by turning itself into a major military power.

The present times are quite different from the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

Japan should never expect such international environment where it could go reckless with aggression and plunder just as it did in the past era.

Japan is making desperate efforts to pull back the chariot of advancing history but it is in vain.

The Japanese government should clearly understand that all wrongs it is now doing is nothing but an adventurous gambling on which it stakes its fate.
