Rodong Sinmun Slams Japanese Reactionaries for Reducing Cyber Space into Battlefield
Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- The defense ministry of Japan is planning to boost the size and capability of its cyber unit. According to the plan, members of the cyber unit will be drastically increased and a department for specializing in the cyber attack capability be newly organized.

The Japanese reactionaries claim that such step will help increase the "defense" capability of the "Self-Defense Forces".

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Saturday says that if the Japanese reactionaries take the above-said step only for "defense", they will be satisfied with the present capability and there is no need for them to organize a new department for specializing in the capability of cyber attack in the unit.

Their cyber unit is not for merely protecting the computer system of the SDF from hacking but for attacking computer system of its rivals, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The Japanese reactionaries are at the height of their moves for using not only land and sea but also cyber space as battlefield.

In case the cyber unit has its attacking capability, the SDF will completely turn into the force in attack formation.

What merits more serious attention is that Japan is further accelerating its moves for reinvasion through the improvement of the SDF's attacking capability.

Then, the Japanese reactionaries' moves for reducing cyber space to a battlefield are bound to lead to reinvasion.

If they are engrossed in war hysteria for reinvasion while talking about the improvement of the so-called attacking capability, far from drawing a lesson from their crimes-woven past history, they will follow in the footsteps of their defeated predecessors.
