N. Korea slams Japan for considering deploying long-range missiles on Kyushu

Japan's reckless possession of preemptive attack capability to put neighboring countries in the striking range while seeking a chance for re-invasion will, on the contrary, expose its archipelago to the attack by righteous regional countries as a common target,

the official said

All military means and various forms of movement directly targeting the DPRK... are an object to be wiped out,

the KCNA report said, using the abbreviation of North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

They expressed concern over the negative impact of North Korea's troop dispatch to the Ukraine war on the security on the Korean Peninsula and the region,

the ministry said, noting the Malaysian side expressed support for Seoul's condemnation of North Korea's nuclear and missile programs

The DPRK will steadily update and strengthen its nuclear-armed forces both in quality and quantity in response to the nuclear threat from outside,

the DPRK added

We demanded that the DPRK abandon all its nuclear weapons and any other weapons of mass destruction as well as ballistic missile programs in accordance with all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions,

read a joint statement released by the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting

The DPRK's nuclear-armed forces will exist forever as a powerful means of justice which defends the sovereignty of the state, territorial integrity and fundamental interests, prevents a war in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia and guarantees a strategic stability of the world,

officials from North Korea said in a statement to the state-run Korean Central News Agency
