Minju Joson Hits out at Japan's Bellicose Activities
Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- The Ground "Self-Defense Force" of Japan staged the largest-ever target practice with live ammunition in Japan on August 26.

The practice involving about 2 400 troops, 80 tanks and armored cars and 20 planes reportedly used about 36 tons of ammunition.

Japan's Air "Self-Defense Force" is about to stage the first joint drill with the Australian air force from September 10 to 30.

These drills prove that Japan is drastically increasing the scale of military drills and expanding their range and thus spurring its moves to beef up its military muscle in an all-round manner, says Minju Joson Saturday in a commentary.

The commentary goes on:

Such reckless behavior of Japan is unbecoming as it is just a defeated nation and war criminal state.

Japan's military capacity is legally confined to "exclusive defense". However, the military muscle of Japan has gone far beyond that limit.

Not content with it, Japan is constantly bolstering its military muscle by staging military drills of various forms and scales while importing latest war hardware ceaselessly.

Why does it do so? In conclusion, the factor of driving it to reckless military moves does not come from outside but just exists inside Japan.

The main reason of bolstering the military muscle lies in Japan's wild ambition for overseas invasion.

Japan remains unchanged in its wild design to invade other countries. It is the goal of Japan to bolster its military muscle until it is strong enough to invade and occupy other countries once an opportunity is presented.
