North Korea issued a statement protesting against the fact that the Japanese government's "National Security Strategy" decided last week and other documents clearly stated that it possessed "counterattack capabilities" to strike enemy missile launch sites, etc. We will continue to demonstrate through our actual actions," he said.
On the 16th of this month, the Japanese government decided on three documents, including the "National Security Strategy," which specified the possession of a "counterattack capability" to hit launch sites and other locations in order to deal with enemy ballistic missile attacks.
Regarding this, a spokesperson for the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement on the 20th, saying, "Japan's 'counterattack capability' is a preemptive strike capability to attack the territory of other countries. It is causing a security crisis,” he said.
Regarding North Korea's nuclear and missile development, he said, "Japan has made it clear that it has the right to take decisive military measures in anticipation of complicating the environment surrounding regional security due to Japan's negative actions. I will let you," and it seems that there is an aim to justify military provocation on the grounds of Japan's security policy.
In addition, in the statement, he suggested further provocation and restrained Japan, saying, "We will continue to show through actual actions how displeased Japan is with Japan's unjust attempts."
