On Tuesday, North Korea accused Japan of attempting to build up actual war capabilities against Pyongyang. The North's international security affairs analyst, Kang Won-chol, made the accusation in an article carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The article specifically criticized Japan's deployment of the U.S. Typhon missile system.
Japan has been focusing on deploying long-range strike means by allocating significant funds towards military expenditures. In response, North Korea claimed that Japan and its allies were engaging in bilateral and multilateral joint military exercises more frequently than ever before. This, the North alleged, was part of a sinister scheme to fully develop its real war capabilities against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and neighboring countries.
