Commenting on the fact, Rodong Sinmun Saturday says:

Witnessing the will and aspiration of all Koreans to turn the Korean peninsula and its vicinity into a cradle of peace, the world community is now positively welcoming and supporting it, sincerely wishing that it would bear good fruit. However, only the reactionaries on the island country are crazy about military moves against the trend of the times.

We cannot but take a serious view of their open claim that they conducted the test-fire as part of "muscle flexing" against the DPRK.

Whenever there was an epochal event in the Korean peninsula, the ill-natured Japanese reactionaries talked rubbish to play down its significance, being displeased with it.

The constitutional ill habit and mind of the descendents of the samurais seeking their interests in checking the peace trend on the Korean peninsula and creating tensions in the region never change.

The present reactionary regime of Japan seeks to put the Asia-Pacific region under control by turning Japan into a country capable of going to war.

No matter how desperately it moves, it can never dampen the aspirations of all Koreans and the international community for peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and the region.

The politicians of Japan are well advised to face up to the present situation and improve their ability to behave themselves as it will be good for them.
