KCNA blasts Japan's reckless call for "preemptive attack"
KCNA
Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- Ishiba, director general of the Defence Agency of Japan, reportedly called for a "preemptive attack on the missile launching site" on March 30 during his South Korea visit, raising a hue and cry over the DPRK's missile launch.
His outcry is a serious infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK and can not but touch off bitter anti-Japanese sentiment among the Korean people as it undisguisedly revealed Japan's attempt to mount a preemptive attack upon the DPRK.
As already clarified by the DPRK more than once, the DPRK's production and deployment of missiles are aimed at increasing its self-defensive capability. This can in no way be a threat to those countries which do not attack it.
Nevertheless, Japan cried out for a preemptive attack on the DPRK over its "missile threat". Such behavior of Japan clearly suggests what a dangerous phase its wild ambition to reinvade Korea has reached.
The Japanese bellicose forces' talk about "preemptive attack" is by no means fortuitous. This is clearly evidenced by the recent escalated military moves of Japan against the DPRK.
The Japanese reactionaries recently launched a spy satellite targeted against the DPRK by using a large carrier rocket H-2A.
Legal arrangements are being made to decide on necessary formalities to intercept ballistic missile, etc.
The Japanese authorities and political circles are becoming increasingly assertive that if North Korea launches a missile, it should be intercepted or new "sanctions" be taken. And military hardware is being deployed in the waters off the Korean peninsula to monitor and intercept the missiles launch. The Japanese bellicose forces' call for a preemptive attack upon the DPRK came against this backdrop. This is a development posing a serious threat to the DPRK.
What merits a serious attention is that Japan is acting a shock brigade in carrying out the U.S. strategy of preemptive attack on the DPRK, zealously following the U.S. moves to stifle it.
Japan's chiming in with the U.S. call for a preemptive attack on the DPRK is aimed to spark "U.S.-led second Iraqi war" on the Korean Peninsula and fish in troubled waters.
All this goes to clearly prove that Japan, still regarding the DPRK as its enemy, is refusing to redeem its past crimes and watching for every chance to reinvade Korea in gross violation of the spirit of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration calling on both sides to refrain from threatening each other.
The DPRK has self-defensive capacity strong enough to beat back any enemy's preemptive strike at a single blow.
Japan is well advised to behave with discretion, well aware that its preemptive attack on the DPRK will only lead to its self-destruction.
