North Korea: "Japan Will Suffer in the Case of a U.S. Nuclear Strike"

North Korea announced on September 23, “If the U.S. were to launch a nuclear strike (against North Korea), U.S. army bases in Japan will become time bombs that will threaten Japan’s livelihood and also become a fuse that will victimize Japan with nuclear warfare.”

An editorial that was printed in North Korea’s Rohdong Newspaper’s September 23 edition stated, “If the Japanese wish to continue peacefully and safely with their lives, they should avoid becoming strategic war accessories of the U.S.”

The newspaper also commented, “The U.S.’ deployment aggression with armed forces in the Asia-Pacific region is a dangerous move that is increasing the possibility of a war in Northeast Asia. U.S. troops and their bases stationed in Japan are the prime reason behind a possible war that could erupt in Japan.”
