Kim Yo-jung, head of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued a statement saying that North Korea's armed forces and military leadership will develop more clear military options based on Japan's current military dynamics. Kim Yo-jung listed a series of recent military activities in Japan, including testing the American-made Tomahawk cruise missile, launching offensive missiles from abroad, and deploying new types of missiles. She stressed that Japan's military deployment had changed to a “pre-emptive strike type, overseas invasion formation,” and called on the international community to be more vigilant to prevent Japan from becoming a military power.
