Coreea de Nord critică primul test al Japoniei cu rachete Tomahawk

North Korea condemned Japan's first Tomahawk cruise missile test, claiming it accelerates Japan's rearmament and poses a regional security threat. Kim Yo Jong stated that the test, despite lacking details, clearly indicates Japan's military capabilities aimed at North Korea and others. This reaction follows Japan's announcement of the missile launch as part of its defense enhancement amid rising tensions in the Asia-Pacific. Kim warned that North Korea would not remain passive and might consider new military measures in response to Japan's actions, which she accused of trying to appear peaceful while becoming a 'belligerent state.' Japan's defense ministry highlighted North Korea's growing military threats and its cooperation with Russia, prompting Japan to increase its defense investments, including acquiring Tomahawk missiles.
