Rodong Sinmun Slams U.S. for Misusing Space for War of Aggression
Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- The U.S. squanders a fabulous amount of fund for developing space, considering it as a lever for realizing its domination scheme, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a commentary.

Referring to the U.S. air force's recent launch of unmanned spaceship X-37B, the commentary goes on:

Military experts comment the spaceship can either be a reconnaissance plane or a drone fighter-bomber that can operate in space. Some countries claim that the spaceship can be a space plane for transporting weapons manufactured and launched by the U.S. air force.

The U.S. air force is now facilitating the development of hypersonic weapon capable of hitting any target in the world within an hour. It is reportedly planning to test-fire in near future new type hypersonic missile also known as rocket propelled gliding weapon on which it is now working.

This is an illegal act in contravention of international law on space which calls for using space for the promotion of human wellbeing and a serious challenge to humankind's desire.

What matters is that the U.S. is incriminating the DPRK for launching satellites for peaceful purposes while deliberately launching its space weapons in breach of international law.

The U.S. ever-more undisguised space militarization is sparking off new global arms race, gravely threatening the right of humankind to existence.

News analysts say with concern that the U.S. hypersonic missiles now under development may cause accidental retaliatory strike and even a nuclear war as it may be misinterpreted as a nuclear weapon.

The U.S. should never be allowed to turn space into a war theatre for world domination.

The U.S. warmongers would be well advised to behave themselves as they misuse space for a war of aggression, being buoyed by their ambition for world domination, urges the commentary.
