N. Korea slams Japan's shift from defense-focused policy
Japan's move to revise its defense-oriented policy is "extremely dangerous," North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
"What is extremely dangerous is that Japan is poised to include in these documents capabilities to attack enemy bases, a sharp increase in defense spending, and the development and purchase of armament equipment for preemptive strikes," the statement said, as translated by Yonhap.
Tokyo's change of attitude could mean a quick turn of its focus "to attack and invasion," the ministry warned.
