Meanwhile, they, together with the U.S., examined the ballistic missile interceptor system, loaded on the newest Aegis destroyer of the Japan Maritime "Self-Defense Force", in the Pacific Ocean, taking issue with the DPRK's "increasing threat".

At a seminar in Washington, a special assistant to the National Security Council of Japan called for the possession of independent "preemptive attack capability against the DPRK," asserting that Japan is "weak to cope with "threat" from the DPRK.

Commenting on the facts, Minju Joson Sunday says:

The Japanese reactionaries are making desperate efforts to possess "preemptive attack capability", talking about "missile threat" when the detente and peace on the Korean peninsula have become a trend of the times. This is the clear evidence showing their frenzy of reinvasion.

Their vociferating about "threat" from someone is a revelation of the wicked intention to seek an excuse for legally plunging into the way of overseas aggression.

The trend of detente on the Korean peninsula is undesirable for the Japanese reactionaries sharpening the sword of reinvasion. That's why they try to block the trend of the Korean peninsula situation toward peace and stability at any cost.

They can never cover up their cunning intention to fish in troubled waters by worsening the situation under the pretext of non-existent "threat" from the DPRK.

Their persistence in anti-DPRK policy and confrontation moves will only harden the Korean people's will to settle accounts with Japan.
