Pyongyang, August 4 (KCNA) -- Japan is putting spurs to deploying home-made long-range missiles for action.

According to a report, it will deploy type 12 surface-to-ship guided missiles with the firing range of 1 000 km for action in Kumamoto by the end of 2025.

It is expected that the missiles will be deployed for action in Oita, Okinawa and other areas next year.

In this regard, Japanese media and politicians are openly boasting that Japan came to secure the "capability of attacking enemy base" in actuality.

It is a very dangerous move.

From some years ago, Japan has updated the type 12 surface-to-ship guided missile with longer firing range capable of being launched from ground, ship and fighter while asserting that it should secure the "capability of counterstrike".

The deployment of missiles capable of striking neighboring countries by going far beyond the scope of "exclusive defense" is not aimed to contain "threat" from someone but to secure Japan's capability for a preemptive attack to realize its ambition for the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" from A to Z.

Japan is now getting closer to the environment in which it can translate into action the war of aggression by reinforcing, reorganizing and modernizing its military muscle according to its "national security strategy", "national defense strategy" and "defense capability buildup outline".

What is noteworthy is that all these military moves are orientated to attain the purpose for preemptive attack.

The "integrated operation command" was newly organized to smoothly use long-range missiles, and the plan for forming missile units had already been completed.

In order to evade the denunciation of the world people, Japan had staged missile launching drills abroad but is openly conducting them in its mainland from June this year to improve its actual war capability.

In particular, the space militarization being enforced by Japan with the expenditure of a huge amount of money is being focused on ensuring the suddenness and accuracy of type 12 surface-to-ship guided missiles, high-speed gliding projectiles and hypersonic guided missiles.

Under such circumstance, the deployment of long-range missiles for action in different parts of Japan is little short of loading a bullet into an assembled weapon.

In the "2025 defense white paper", Japan termed the DPRK and other neighboring countries the "imminent threat" and the "unprecedented, greatest strategic challenge". This more clearly shows who the target of Japan is.

It was recently disclosed that while talking about the "theory on threat" from the DPRK and other neighboring countries, Japan instigated its master to make even a "nuclear strike" on them. This is evoking the strong vigilance of the international community.

The reality goes to prove that Japan, obsessed with the moves to turn it into a military giant, is making desperate efforts to bring earlier the day when it will launch reinvasion by accelerating the deployment of long-range strike means for a preemptive attack for action.

The war criminal state should not act rashly.

The day of reinvasion Japan tries to bring earlier so much will be the day when it sets foot in a hell without revival. -0-
