Summary
North Korea has frequently portrayed closer security ties among the US, Japan and South Korea as preparation for an invasion. (KCNA pic) SEOUL: North Korea said it will pursue unspecified "additional military options" in response to Japan's expanding defence capabilities, accusing Tokyo of reviving the ambitions of a "war criminal state." Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said that Pyongyang would not remain a "passive onlooker" to what she described as Japan's accelerating transformation into a military power, according to a statement published on Wednesday by the official Korean Central News Agency. "War criminal state Japan's possession of the capability for preemptive attack is a grave threat destroying global peace and security," Kim said, referring to Tokyo's efforts to acquire long-range strike capabilities. North Korea vows to teach 'war criminal state' Japan lesson over missile test. The latest defence budget showed spending for the fiscal year that started in April will be equivalent to 1.9% of national GDP.
Furthermore, Kim's remarks come a day after Japan released an annual defence white paper that said growing military coordination between China, Russia and North Korea is heightening security risks for the island nation.
